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.
Masai
Rainfall: The rainy days continue but subside in intensity and
frequency.
Temperature: cool days (Max 15 - 25 Degrees Celsius)

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