Best time to visit

July–October (dry season) offers peak Big Five sightings and lower malaria risk, though Masai Mara's Great Migration (July–August) draws massive herds. December–February is also dry with good wildlife viewing and fewer crowds. Avoid April–May (long rains) when roads become difficult and wildlife disperses.
