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.

With breathtaking vistas and game, the Masai Mara is not to be missed. Here you can see wide varieties and vast volumes of wildlife, 57 of the 450 recorded bird species are birds of prey. There are rolling grasslands, distant hills, scattered acacia woodlands and riverine bush. The great wildebeest migration is usually present here between July and October, although sightings can never be guaranteed.
Masai Mara safari camps offer dramatic game viewing and exceptional standards of service. Cottars 1920's Safari Camp, Naibor Camp or Kicheche Bush Camp are among a few fantastic safari camps in Masai Mara that are certainly not to be missed.
