When you think of an African safari the Masai Mara is often your first thought, and rightly so.

Climate

Due to its altitude of between 4000 and 7000 feet, the Masai Mara has a moderate climate without any great variations in temperature. The daytime temperatures peak around 30° C (85°F) and can drop to around 15°C (60°F) degrees Celsius at night. The heaviest rains fall between March and May and there is a second short rainy season between November and December.

Rainfall can make the park roads difficult to navigate, while in the dry season the wildlife is more concentrated around the various water sources. Between July and October the weather is normally dry and the vegetation lush. This is the best time to view the Park's wildlife and is the peak tourist season.
