The best time to go on a Kenya safari is during the dry season, which is from July to October and December to February. During the dry season, the animals are more concentrated around water sources, making it easier to see them.

- Walking safaris: Walking safaris allow you to get closer to the animals and experience the bush in a more intimate way.
- Hot air balloon safaris: Hot air balloon safaris offer stunning views of the landscape and the animals below.
- Fly-in safaris: Fly-in safaris allow you to cover more ground and see more animals in a shorter amount of time.
