When to go:
The main tourist season is in January and February, when the weather is hottest and driest. At this time, the animals in the wildlife parks tend to congregate more around the watercourses, making them easier to spot. However, the parks can get crowded and rates for accommodation soar – also make sure you avoid Christmas and Easter unless you want to pay much higher prices.
From June to October, the annual wildebeest migration takes place, with thousands of animals streaming into the Masai Mara National Reserve from the Serengeti.
During the long rains (the low season, spanning from March to the end of May) things are much quieter. Wildlife is harder to spot and mosquitoes are rife, a combination that keeps most tourists away.
Local Transport:
There has been speculation for years that ferry transport will start again on Lake Victoria, but for the foreseeable future, the only regular services operating are motorised canoes to Mfangano Island from Mbita Point, near Homa Bay.
Sailing on a traditional Swahili dhow along the East African coast is one of Kenya’s most memorable experiences.
Hitchhiking is never entirely safe in any country, and we don’t recommend it. Travellers who hitch should understand that they are taking a small but potentially serious risk; it’s safer to travel in pairs and let someone know where you are planning to go. Also, beware of drunken drivers.
