Kenya safari FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about Africa safari tours in Kenya with their answers:
• Best time: The dry season, from June to October, is considered the best time for a safari in Kenya. Wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources.
• Rainy season: From March to May, Kenya experiences heavy rains, which may make travel more difficult. However, the landscape is lush and green, and fewer tourists are around.
Most travelers will need a visa. Citizens of countries like the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia must apply for a tourist visa to enter Kenya. You can apply for an e-visa online before arrival.
Kenya is home to the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos. You can also see giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, various bird species, and much more in Kenya’s national parks and reserves, such as the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo.
Maasai Mara National Reserve: Famous for its migration of wildebeest and zebras and rich wildlife.
