The long rains that started in April subside towards the end of June. June therefore falls into the low safari season category. Much like April and May Safaris in June are low key with limited activities in the game parks (no game walks and sundowners) because of the conditions of the roads. By mid June, most camps and lodges and hotels that were closed start reopening. Due to the rains, there is long grass in the parks sometimes making game viewing a challenge. Again, there may be variances in the rain period due to climatic changes as has been experienced in the past.

Weather:

Rainfall: The rainy days continue but subside in intensity and frequency.

Temperature: cool days (Max 15 - 25 Degrees Celsius)

Nights June be chilly (less than 15 degrees Celsius)

Mombasa and Malindi are cool and slightly humid in June

Samburu is cool with daytime temperatures reaching a high of 28° C and chilly nights 15° C

Maasai Mara and Amboseli are cool and chilly at night

Clothing: A traveler is advised to carry some warm clothing for the chilly nights, rain proof boots can also be handy.
