The Dry season is the best time to climb Mount Kenya although it can be climbed all year round.Mount Kenya has two dry seasons,one from December through early March and another from July through early October.We can always find the time that works best for you.

Best Time to Climb Kilimanjaro falls between December and mid-March, as well as from mid-June through October. These dry periods promise clear skies, breathtaking views, and minimal rainfall, ensuring an optimal Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing experience.While you can ascend the mountain any time of the year, it’s wise to avoid April and November, the peak rainy seasons, due to challenging trail conditions.

Thanks to its abundant resident wildlife and temperate climate, the Masai Mara is widely regarded as a fantastic year-round safari destination. Its wide and open plains mean there is virtually always something to see no matter what time of year you visit. However, for those looking for an opportunity to watch as the great wildebeest migration unfolds, the best time to visit the Mara is from July to October.
