Climate Overview
Klein's Camp experiences warm days and two rainy seasons.
Rainfall: From March until May the "long rains" fall,
heralding a time of rest and rejuvenation. The average annual rainfall
at Klein's Camp is about 1 000mm. In November and December, as "short
rains" roll in from the south, the vast herds return, passing
once again through the hills of Klein's to their breeding grounds
in the southern Serengeti.
 The dry season
is from January to February and June to October. It is around this
time, just after the "long rains" that millions of grunting
wildebeest arrive in the hills and plains around the camp. Having
given birth down south they pass through this safe haven en-route
to the rich northern grasslands of the Masai Mara where they remain
until October or November.
It must be noted that the seasons around Klein's Camp vary from
year to year and if rains do not fall when expected the cyclical
movement/migration of wildebeest and other herbivores is influenced.
Temperature: Early mornings and evenings can be cold (about 10°C/50°F).
Days are warm. The coldest month is July. The minimum temperatures
are 12°C/54°F. The maximum temperatures are 32°C/90°F.
Winter is from May to September. Summer is from October to April.
Best Time to Travel
The best time to visit Klein's Camp is from June through December
when the migration occurs, and January to March, when the camp is
a dry season refuge.
