The 10-Day Kenyan Classics Safari can be enjoyed throughout the year, although wildlife viewing conditions vary by season. The dry months are generally popular because wildlife tends to gather around available water sources and vegetation is less dense.

The safari can also be enjoyed during the greener seasons, when landscapes are lush, photography conditions can be excellent, and visitor numbers may be lower.
