WHEN TO VISIT
Kenya offers exceptional wildlife viewing throughout the year, but the optimal times to visit are during the dry seasons: January to March and late June to October. During these periods, minimal rainfall leads animals to gather around permanent water sources, enhancing gameviewing opportunities. Conversely, the wet seasons—late March to May and late October to early December—see increased rainfall, prompting wildlife to disperse over larger areas, which can make sightings more challenging. For those aiming to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara, planning a trip between July and October is advisable, as the herds typically arrive during this window, though their exact timing varies annually based on rainfall patterns.

This luxurious boutique hotel sits within a small wildlife sanctuary in a leafy Nairobi suburb and is home to a herd of freely roaming Rothschild’s giraffes, along with several warthog families.
