Seasons
Why go then?
Long rains (roughly March–May) and short rains (often November) deter some visitors—lodges discount and you share sightings with fewer vehicles. Roads can be muddy; some seasonal camps close.
- Photography: Cloud build-ups and saturated colours reward patient shooters.
- Birding: Migrants and breeding plumage peak around these months.
- Migration: The Mara is not the July–October migration circus—pair green season with parks strong on resident game.
