Best Time to Visit

The Best Time to Visit the Rift Valley Lakes is during the dry season, from June to October and January to February. During this period, wildlife meets around the water, making it easier to spot animals. The dry weather also ensures clear skies for optimal views of the lakes and surrounding landscapes. Additionally, these months provide the best conditions for birdwatching, as many migratory birds visit the lakes. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for game drives, offering cooler temperatures and increased wildlife activity, making it a rewarding time for both nature lovers and photographers.
