Kenya’s safari regions are generally warm by day and cooler in the early morning and evening, especially at altitude. Long rains are usually around March to May and shorter rains around November, but exact conditions vary by region and year.
Pack neutral safari clothing, a warm layer for early starts, sun protection, comfortable walking shoes, binoculars, camera gear and any personal medication. A soft-sided bag is recommended where light aircraft are used.
