Pick Kenya 🇰🇪 if you're going in…

June, July, August, September, December

Book Mara camps for August a year in advance — it's the peak migration window.

Pick India 🇮🇳 if you're going in…

October, November

Plan India by region, not by country — climate varies by 30°C across it on the same day.

Months where both are equally good: January, February, March, April, May.
