Best Time to Visit Lake Nakuru
Lake Nakuru National Park is a year-round destination, but each season offers unique experiences. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide when to visit
July to October
This is the long dry season, and it's the best time for wildlife viewing. The park's roads are easier to navigate, and vegetation is sparse, making it easier to spot animals. The weather is cool and dry, perfect for game drives and scenic views. July to October is ideal for both birdwatching and spotting larger mammals, including rhinos and leopards.
November & December
The short rainy season replenishes the park’s lush vegetation. Flamingo numbers start to increase, and the landscape becomes greener and more picturesque. The park is less crowded, offering a more serene safari experience. It’s a great time for photography, as the rains create dramatic skies and rich colors in the landscape.
