Kenya Safaris

We are an Original African Safari Company specialising in Kenya Safaris since 1994

Overview

If you have ever fantasised about Africa – sleeping in the bush surrounded by wildlife and walking with tribespeople – then you have probably been thinking of a Kenya Safari. Kenya’s natural environment and cultural heritage are almost unmatched in Africa. For many, Kenya means wildlife and up to a million wildebeest and zebra migrate across the Southern section of the country every year attracting an entourage of predators.

The Masai Mara National Park is Kenya’s biggest tourist attraction and this is where The Great Migration takes place, considered to be one of the World’s greatest natural phenomena. The reserve is also famous for its large numbers of lions not to mention the other distinctive African wildlife such as Elephants, Antelopes, Giraffes to Leopards and Hyenas and large groups of Hippo and Crocodile. There is also a reasonable amount of the rare Black Rhino and Cheetah. The quantity and variety of wildlife in the Masai Mara is simply breathtaking.

Climate

What Weather to expect on a Kenya Safari

Kenya’s climate varies across the country, from the tropical humidity of the coast, the dry heat of the savannah or semi-arid areas and the cool air of the highlands. Temperatures in these areas are fairly constant year round with an average of 27°C at the coast, 21°C to 27°C in the hinterland, while in Nairobi and the highlands over 5,000 ft, the daytime temperatures normally range between 19°C and 24°C.

Most parts of the country experience two rainy seasons: the ‘long rains’ falling over a ten week period between April and June, and the ‘short rains’ over a five week period between November and December. The rain tends to fall mainly at night and is usually a short and heavy tropical downpour.

Rain may occasionally fall outside of the normal rainy seasons. In the highland areas north of Nairobi it may get chilly at night or in the early mornings – especially June, July, August when temperatures are cooler.
