Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Malindi Marine National Reserve is during the dry season, from June to October. This period provides calm seas and excellent visibility for snorkeling and diving. The weather is warm, and the waters are clear, offering perfect conditions to explore the rich underwater ecosystem.

The wet season, from November to May, brings occasional rains, but it is still an excellent time for birdwatching, especially for migratory species. While the seas can be rougher, this period still offers great opportunities for marine exploration, as the coral reefs and marine life thrive during the wet season.
