What is the Most Expensive season to go on Safari in Kenya?

One of the most expensive times to go on safari is during the peak season of late June to late September. This is because it is the best time when the great migration is happening in the Masai Mara Game Reserve and this is the best time to see wildlife in abundance.

During this high season, most national parks in Kenya are busy with tourists. Basically, there the few available rooms in the camps and lodges are very competitive.

What is the Most Affordable season to go on Safari in Kenya?

Visit Kenya in the rainy seasons of October to November and March to May.  You stand chances of getting much better savings on your safari cost as most of the national parks will have very wet conditions,

The downside to this is wet conditions can be challenging in finding wildlife. The chances of getting stuck in the mud in one of the national parks are high. You may not get better game viewing opportunities with as many animals as you would expect. But to mitigate this get yourself a very experienced local guide.
