The Shoulder Season Explained
What is the Shoulder Season?
The shoulder season in Kenya typically occurs between the end of the wet season and the beginning of the dry season, specifically in the months of April to June and September to October. During this time, the weather is generally mild, and the landscapes are lush and vibrant. It’s the perfect window to experience Kenya’s natural beauty and rich culture without the holiday rush!

Experience the Vibrant Wildlife
Unique Wildlife Sightings
Kenya is renowned for its incredible biodiversity, and visiting during the shoulder season allows you to witness some spectacular wildlife behavior.

Moreover, September and October are ideal for spotting elephant herds as they gather around watering holes.
Less Disturbed Natural Habitats
With fewer visitors trampling through the parks, wildlife feels more at ease and more likely to be seen in their natural habitats. Imagine the thrill of watching a lion pride lounging undisturbed or a herd of elephants meandering through the savannah. This is the magic of touring Kenya during the shoulder season!
