Best Time for Your 4 Day masai mara luxury safari
While Kenya offers incredible safari experiences year-round, the best time to embark on this 4 day luxury adventure largely depends on your priorities. The dry season (June to October) is excellent for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water sources and the Great Migration is typically in the Mara. The green season (November to May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and fantastic birdwatching, often at more attractive rates. Each season presents its own unique charm and photographic opportunities.
