When to go

The camp through the year.

June to September

Dry season. The migration may cross into the conservancy, most often in August and September, but it is never guaranteed.

October to January

Quieter months, good for birds and photography. Short rains usually fall in November and December.

February to May

February is usually dry. The long rains tend to begin by mid-March, and by May the plains are green.
