Kenya Safari Seasons: Dry vs. Wet Explained
Kenya's equatorial climate means two main Kenya safari seasons:

Green Season (November to May): Lush greenery, baby animals, and affordable Kenya safari packages due to lower rates (up to 40% off). Rain is short and afternoon-based, rarely disrupting safaris.
Pro tip: Avoid peak rain in April-May for comfort, unless birdwatching is your goal.
