Is it worth visiting Masai Mara outside the Great Migration season?

Absolutely. Outside the peak migration months, the Masai Mara offers world-class wildlife viewing with resident Big Five populations that never migrate. You will enjoy lush green scenery, clear dust-free air, lower accommodation rates, and significantly fewer vehicles at wildlife sightings.

When are the long rains and short rains in Kenya?

The long rains typically fall in April and May, bringing substantial rainfall that replenishes the savanna, while the short rains occur in November and December, characterized by brief afternoon thundershowers that clear quickly.
