When Should I Go?

Generally, the times to avoid are the rainy seasons in each country. The climate in Kenya and Tanzania is generally moderate with cool nights and highs of around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The heaviest rains fall in east Africa in April and May, and the light rains fall in November and December. In southern Africa, the rainy season starts in December and goes through March. The exception is South Africa, where the best months for safari are from June to October.
