Is January a good time for a Kenya safari? It is one of the best.
The short rains are over, the grass is fresh and many antelope give birth, which keeps lions and cheetahs busy. Lujui Kenya Travels pairs three days in the Masai Mara with a night at Lake Nakuru for rhinos and flamingos, with a private guide and a 4x4 Land Cruiser the whole way.
PriceFrom USD 1,290 per person sharing
Duration5 days and 4 nights
Weather in JanuaryMostly dry and warm, about 25 to 28 degrees by day
StayMid range camp in the Mara and a lodge at Lake Nakuru
Operated byAuthentic Adventures, Nairobi
Best for

- Couples who want warm, dry days

- Travellers who missed the July migration crowds
Day by day
Day 1. Pick up in Nairobi and drive through the Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara. Afternoon game drive.
Day 2. Full day in the reserve with a packed lunch. January is calving time for many antelope, so predators stay active.

Day 4. Drive to Lake Nakuru National Park for rhinos, flamingos and tree climbing lions.
Day 5. Morning game drive, then the drive back to Nairobi by late afternoon.

Questions people ask
Is January rainy in Kenya?
January is one of the driest months. Short showers are possible but rarely stop a game drive.
Can we see the migration in January?
The big herds are in Tanzania in January. The Mara still has resident lions, cheetahs, elephants and plenty of plains game.
Are prices lower in January?
Early January is festive season pricing. From mid January many camps drop to shoulder rates, so your quote may come in lower.
Can we add the beach?
Yes. Diani or Watamu fit well after the safari, with a short flight from Nairobi.
