You can visit the Masai Mara at any time of year. There is no real best time to go to the Masai Mara as it is a superb game viewing destination all year round. However, the busiest time are around Christmas and from July to October.

In fact most people would like to time their visit with the Great Wildebeest Migration from July to November. Getting the timing right is really tricky as it all depends on when the rains fall and set the migration in motion.

The hot season is from December to March when temperatures range from 28ºC / 80ºF to 32ºC / 92ºF. The cold season lasts from July to September, but temperatures rarely fall below 12ºC/52ºF. Nights can be chilly in all seasons because of the altitude (1500 above the sea level for the Masai Mara plains and at 1800 at Kilima Camp) and warm clothing is essential.

Long rains usually come around March and May (long rainning season) while short rains (short rainning season) are between November and mid December. The short rains are usually followed by sunny skies and do not last long.

The best periods and seasons to travel to the Masai Mara from a weather point of view are from mid December to March and from July to September.
