The busiest months are July and August, however the best months to visit are September and October when it’s dry, there’s incredible game viewing and the summer holiday crowds have dispersed.
Why to travel at this time
There’s a break in the rains after the December short rains and before the long rains that usually begin in March. The landscape is still lush, making for beautiful photographs, and the air is clearer providing great visibility of Mount Kenya. Migratory birds are also in the area at this time.
