SEASON
East African climate is governed by two monsoon seasons: the “Kusi” or South-East Monsoon and “Kaskazi” or North-East Monsoon.
Anytime from the end of March until the end of October sees the “Kusi”, then from November-December starts the “Kaskazi” which lasts until late March.
.
In the main, there are three overlapping fishing seasons on the Kenyan coast:
July to October
– Yellowfin Tuna, Barracuda, Giant Trevally, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Dorado, Bonito, Sailfish and Black Marlin…
.
October to December
– Sailfish are more prevalent, together with Yellowfin Tuna and the other Game Fish species…
.
December to March
– the Marlin season (Black, Blue & Striped), Sailfish with Broadbill Swordfish starting to make an appearance in February ⟹ the Kenya Slam season!
.
"With relaxed rustic beach lodges and unpretentious seafront accommodation available, this makes for a perfect day off from fishing, or a great family ‘chic beach retreat’ for an extended holiday..."

Why you need to fish here
What sets Kenya apart from other fishing destinations is the unique combination of underwater terrain, ocean currents and coastal winds - 55 miles north-east of Malindi are The North Kenya Banks, an undersea mountain chain, home to some of the top predators of the Indian Ocean - Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin, as well as Spearfish and Broadbill Swordfish, perfect for a Kenya 'Fantasy Slam' (5 different billfish species in one trip).
Further, Kenya’s coastline has some world renowned tropical white sand beaches, framed by swaying coconut palms and indented by mangrove-lined creeks opening to the warm, inviting turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
