Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Tsavo East National Park is during the dry seasons of June to October and December to March. These months provide optimal game viewing conditions, as animals gather around waterholes, making it easier to spot them. The park’s roads are also more accessible during this time, with minimal rainfall and dry, stable weather. The wet season, from April to May and November, sees heavier rains that can make parts of the park difficult to navigate, though this is a good time for bird watching and enjoying the lush landscapes. For the best wildlife experience and ease of travel, the dry season is recommended.
