BEST TIME TO VISIT LAKE NAKURU

Lake Nakuru National Park can be visited throughout the year.

The dry seasons are generally popular for wildlife viewing because animals are often easier to spot around water sources and vegetation is less dense.

The wetter months can also be rewarding, particularly for birdwatching and photography, as the landscape becomes greener and migratory bird species may be present.

Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed because animals move freely in their natural environment, but our experienced driver-guides will make every effort to provide the best possible game-viewing experience.
