The conservancy through the year.
The high season in KWS guidance for Kenya's parks, when shorter grass can make wildlife easier to see. Sightings are never guaranteed.
The long rains. KWS says most park roads may need four-wheel drive at this time.
KWS describes Kenya's central highlands as cool and the north as hot and dry, so pack for warm days and cool evenings.
