To visit Kenya, you’ll need a tourist visa. Many travelers prefer to obtain their visa online before arriving, and this is the easiest option. The Kenya Tourist Visa costs USD 51.00 and can be obtained online.

You can see lions in Kenya throughout the year, but the best time for sightings is during the dry months of December to February and June to October. These months are ideal because the animals tend to gather near water sources, making them easier to spot. The wet months (March to May and November) may result in more challenging conditions, but the wildlife is still abundant.
