In Kenya, that time of year offers ideal weather, not too hot or cold, and with little chance of rain. This allows visitors to see Kenya at its best before the weather switches over to summer heat.
Meanwhile, the Great Wildebeest Migration is a huge draw. This unique event sees thousands of wildebeest galloping across the Masai Mara. Visitors can even enjoy the spectacle from the air in a hot air balloon at sunrise – definitely, memories to keep forever.
However, October is also a great time to visit, as the shoulder season sees fewer crowds and lower prices. It is also much easier to spot the wildlife without a queue of other safari vehicles in the way.
Now Delta Air Lines is offering the chance to fly nonstop to Kenya, what better time to start planning that big safari trip?
