Kenya has good wildlife viewing all year. The dry months from June to October and from January to February are the easiest for game drives, and the Great Migration is usually in the Masai Mara from about July to October.
Most visitors need a Kenya electronic travel authorisation (eTA), which you should apply for online through the official government system before you travel. Check the current requirements for your nationality. Speak to your doctor or a travel clinic about vaccinations and malaria prevention.
The herds are usually in the Mara from about July to October, but timing depends on the rains and cannot be guaranteed. We plan your trip around the most likely herd position for your dates.
