Traveling to Africa in January can allow visitors the same sightseeing benefits as during the high season, with the added bonus of lower rates. January falls within the middle of Kenya’s wet season, offering cooler days — with highs of 80 degrees — and lush, green landscape.
The average rainfall in January is the lowest all year, but the wet season lasts November to May with the heaviest rains in March and May. January tends to be a great time for safari visits for lower rates, green vegetation and spotting wildlife and their young.
There will be myriad parks and reservations to choose from in Kenya alone, but travelers should plan to visit the dryer plains during the wet season. Lamu Archipelago, Watamu, Masai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi, Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park will all vary in rainfall and seasonal dryness.
The wet season often discourages tourists, allowing for lower rates, but January happens to be a sweet spot in the season. Kenya rainfall in January tends to be light and later in the day, not often conflicting with safari expeditions.
