When to go

The lodge through the year.

July to October

Usually the migration months on the Kenyan side, and the busiest time in the reserve.

April to June

The long rains. Some roads need four-wheel drive.

The rest of the year

Kenya Wildlife Service also names December to March as a high season. We help you choose the right months for what you hope to see.
