Because the weather in Africa is often unpredictable - the rains can sometimes be heavy one season, sometimes they can fail altogether - this information is a rough guideline only

SEASONS AND CLIMATE
Summer from December to March and winter from July to September, with long rains from March to April and short rains between November and December.

Kenya is divided by the equator and enjoys a tropical climate. It is hot and humid at the coast, temperate inland and very dry in the north and north-eastern parts of the country. The hottest time is in February and March and the coldest in July and August.

THE AVERAGE ANNUAL TEMPERATURES IN THE MAIN AREAS ARE

Mombassa (along the coastal strip)

Max 30ºC, Min 22ºC

Nairobi :

Max 25ºC, Min 13ºC

North Plain lands :

Max 34ºC, Min 23ºC

The long rains occur from April to June and short rains from October to December. Rainfall is sometimes heavy and tends to fall in the afternoon and evenings
 

Generally, casual comfortable clothing is suitable throughout the year. The most practical items to pack for safari are:

   

 

Khaki, green, beige and neutral colors

 

Blouses and shirts with long sleeves (even in summer, they will protect you from the sun and from mosquitoes)

 

T shirts

 

Shorts or a light skirt

 

Jeans or safari trousers for evenings and cooler days

 

Some hotels and country clubs require gentlemen to wear a jacket and tie and women to be suitably attired for dinner

 

A jacket and sweater are recommended for early morning and evening game drives

 

Swimwear and beach apparel

 

Comfortable walking shoes

 

Sun block, sunglasses, hat, insect repellent, moisturizer and lip salve are all essentials

Good quality, locally made clothing and shoes for safaris are available in Nairobi and Mombassa shops at reasonable prices.

 

Prescription medications: make sure you have enough to last during your trip, as well as a copy of the prescription's Over-the-counter anti-diarrhea medicine (just in case!) if you think you'll have trouble finding a pharmacy on your trip Visa or MasterCard credit card and/or travelers cheques - Diners and American Express are not always accepted. Keep travel documents in a safe place - many airlines no longer resubmit lost tickets and require a police affidavit if you want to avoid paying the full fare for their replacement.
