Climate

The coastal region of Kenya is predominately hot and humid all the year round.  However, soothed by the sea breezes, the cooler winter months are extremely pleasant.

                                                        THE CLIMATE - Sub Tropical

                                                        TEMPERATURE CONVERSION:  
                                                                   C = 5/9 (F-32)
                                                                    F = 9/5 (C+32)


                                                        Summer = December to March
                                                          Winter  = July to August

                                                 
JANUARY AND FEBRUARY ...   Hot and dry
The animals are easy to see, at this time, at the numerous water holes.

MARCH, APRIL AND MAY  ...   Short rains

Everywhere is colourful, lush and beautiful

JULY, AUGUST and SEPTEMBER  ...   The Great Migration
This time is likely to be very busy, with many tours to witness this amazing site.

OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER and JANUARY  ...   Very pleasant temperatures
This, too, will make it a high tourist season, if you can tolerate it!
