DRY SEASON
This is usually the driest time of the year, you can expect sunny skies (with perhaps the occasional shower) and pleasant temperatures. Animals tend to congregate around the lakes and waterholes, so game viewing should be excellent. The vegetation will also be quite thin, improving visibility at sightings. Overall an excellent time of year to visit.
Migratory birds will be there in good numbers and in their full breeding colours.
Its location so close to the equator means that Lake Nakuru & the Southern Rift Valley Lakes have very consistent temperatures throughout the year, while the high altitude (1,755 to 2,053m or 5,758 to 6,736ft) moderate these to a surprisingly cool average midday high of 25°C/77°F throughout the year. The mornings can be quite chilly, so be sure to bring a fleece.
Unlike most of Kenya where there are two wet seasons, around Nakuru & the Southern Rift Valley rain is possible throughout the year, but much more likely and with more intensity from March to May. Overall rainfall amounts are relatively low, so it is possible to have great safari experiences throughout the year.

WET SEASON
The exact start and end of the rains are always a little uncertain, but generally, this period is the wettest time of the year. This wet season is also often characterised by overcast skies and consecutive days of rain. As a consequence of the rainfall roads can be hard to navigate and wildlife a little harder to spot. On the plus side rates are at their cheapest and visitor are low, offering a more private safari experience for those who don’t mind taking their chances.

DRY SEASON
A more stable and predictable time of the year, usually with clear skies. Also, one of the cooler periods, which makes midday temperatures a little more pleasant. The rains earlier in the year should also have cleared a lot of dust in the sky, making the long distant views outstanding.
As the land begins to dry up the wildlife will become more concentrated around remaining water sources, making it that bit easier to spot.

As the land continues to dry the wildlife will become more concentrated around remaining water sources, significantly improving the odds of good sightings. Vegetation will also be much thinner towards the end of the dry season, which will again improve the odds of having some great sightings!
