KENYA CLIMATE
Traveling to Kenya is a very rewarding experience when it comes to counting on the weather. The climate is warm and dry all year round, with plenty of sunshine and cool nights and mornings. Being equatorial the annual temperature variation is not high, however there is still a variation of weather throughout the year which can be summarized as follows:
Long rains : March – May
Short rains: October – November
Hottest Months – December to March with temperatures as high as 27/28° C
Coolest Months – July and August temperatures can fall as low as 15° C
ANNUAL PATTERNS
The annual weather pattern can be divided and summarized as follows:
January- February
January and February are relatively hot months and ideal to visit the coastal region. During this period, animals gather around water sources making it easy for game viewing. It is also a good time to go mountain climbing.
March- May
This is the rainy green season and may be best time to travel for those who prefer smaller crowds, as it is also the off peak season in Kenya. The beginning of the wet season is also great for bird viewing as it is a time when many resident birds nest and are therefore at their most active and attractive.
June – October
These are the coolest months and the famous wildebeest migration is traditionally in Kenya around this time.
September – October
This is an ideal period for mountain climbing.
November- December
This is a season for short rains with temperatures being relatively cool. This is also a time when many other resident birds nest, many migrant species are present and flamingo numbers usually peak.

Insurance cover for Foreigners
For a foreign tourist coming to Kenya, it is crucial to get comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical coverage, emergency evacuation, and trip interruption/cancellation benefits.
