BEST TIME TO VISIT
Kenya's parks can be visited throughout the year, and this 7-day itinerary is designed to showcase wildlife diversity across four distinct ecosystems in any season.
July to October is particularly popular for travelers interested in the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Maasai Mara, although the exact timing and location of the migration changes each year.
Dry seasons (June–October and January–February) generally offer easier game viewing across Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli, while the December–March period offers the clearest views of Mount Kilimanjaro from Amboseli.
Other months can also provide excellent wildlife viewing and beautiful scenery.
