Kenya's equatorial location ensures warm weather year round, though it can be cool at night and first thing in the morning. There are two rain seasons, the long rains occur from April to June and short rains from October to December. The rainfall is sometimes heavy and when it does come it often falls in the afternoons and evenings. The hottest period is from February to March and coldest in July to August.

Kenya is the birthplace of Abercrombie & Kent and famed for its wide-open spaces, savannahs, an astounding array of wildlife, crater lakes, snow-capped mountains and golden beaches. It is ideal safari country and holidays in Kenya are always unique and always unforgettable.

A Kenya safari holiday with Abercrombie & Kent is like no other.  Every experience is personal and built on a wealth of knowledge and expertise, whilst privileged access to exclusive accommodation (from exquisite lodges to secluded tented camps), locations and experiences mixes with an authentic flavour of the real Kenya. 

A&K safari holidays in Kenya are as rich and varied as the country itself.
