Best Time to Visit

The Best Time to Visit Laikipia is during the dry season, from June to October and December to March. These months provide ideal conditions for wildlife viewing as animals tend to congregate around waterholes, making them easier to spot. The weather is warm and dry, with clear skies and minimal rainfall. The wet season (April to May and November) brings lush green landscapes, but it can make game viewing more challenging due to dense vegetation and occasional rainfall. For comfortable weather and excellent wildlife experiences, the dry season is generally recommended for visitors.
