Best December holiday destinations
Diani and Watamu for beach holidays, Mombasa's north coast for family resorts and nightlife, Naivasha for a short break, and the Masai Mara, where big cats stay all year, for a festive safari. See our resident packages and coast safaris.
Weather in December
December is after the short rains (November), with mostly dry, hot weather on the coast and green parks inland. It is a good time for both beach and safari.
Tips for festive season bookings
Book 2–3 months ahead, check for compulsory gala dinner charges on 24 and 31 December, book SGR tickets as soon as sales open, and consider travelling before 20 December for lower rates.
