Best Time to Visit Kenya with Kids / Children
First, let’s get to know the best time Kids can visit Kenya to enjoy an optimal activity filled holiday. Kenya has 3 Main seasons, including :
- Low season: happens between April and June
- High Season: happens between Jan and March, Nov to Dec
- Peak Season:- July to October, also known as wildebeest season.
Kids need a lot of time in order to enjoy their holiday. A minimum of 15 days is what our experts recommend to have in order to maximize their holiday exposure.
Therefore holidays planned between Jan and March are the best for kids. At this time, the rates are friendly, there is no congestion in parks and reserves, and also is one of the best season to spot wildlife. This season is dry and wet towards the end of Feb. It gets wet from march onward to June for the long rains in East Africa.
