Kenya in March

Dry seasons rule for safari: January-February and June-October. The Great Migration crosses into Masai Mara July through September, but expect crowds and premium prices. March-May brings heavy rains — some camps close, roads become impassable. But it's green, beautiful, and cheap. November-December offers decent weather with fewer tourists. The coast stays warm year-round, but avoid April-May for beach time due to rain. Turkana and northern regions are brutal hot most of the year — visit November through March. Here's what nobody tells you: Kenya's on the equator, so temperature doesn't vary much. It's really about rain patterns and animal movements.
