What is the best time to visit Lake Bogoria?

The best times to visit Lake Bogoria National Reserve are during the dry months of December to February and June to July. The weather is favourable for wildlife viewing, birdwatching, and outdoor activities, with reduced rainfall ensuring accessible paths. Large numbers of flamingos can be seen during this season.

Throughout the year, diverse birdlife like African fish eagles and grey-crowned cranes can be observed, along with other animals such as buffalo, zebra, cheetah, and greater kudu, providing a rich safari experience.

Lake Bogoria National Reserve is less visited, so there's no distinct peak or shoulder season, allowing visitors to enjoy its unique offerings year-round under varying conditions.

Less favourable times are during the long rains from March to May and the short rains from August to October, as heavy rainfall can create muddy and challenging terrain, affecting accessibility and safari enjoyment.

March to May (Long Rains - Less Ideal)

This period brings heavy rainfall, resulting in lush greenery and abundant birdlife. While there are fewer visitors, wildlife visibility may be reduced, and paths can be challenging due to mud.
