The best time to visit Kenya is during the great wildebeest migration, which occurs from mid-July to August to mid-September. This will give you a chance to see the wildebeest as they cross the Mara to the Kenyan side. A safari to the Mara can be combined with a tour of the country. The weather conditions at this time are also favorable, which allows you to comfortably approach all the main tourist attractions in the country.
