Dry Season — one of the best times to visit

  • Temperatures are reasonably high, with moderate humidity and a handful of rainy afternoons.

  • Take advantage of the pristine weather by relaxing on the white sand beaches overlooking the crystal clear waters of Msambweni.

  • At 27 degrees celsius the waters of the Indian Ocean are steadily approaching their max for the year.

  • A great time of the year for angling with various billfish, including blue marlin and striped marlin season in full swing.

  • Local dive sites are just a 30 minute drive away - enjoy exceptional water clarity of up to 30 meters in this month, providing incredible marine life viewing for snorkelers and divers.
