Best Time To Visit Amboseli National Park
The best time to visit Amboseli National Park depends on the kind of experience you’re looking for. Each season offers a slightly different experience, so be sure to plan your trip accordingly.
Dry Season (June - October)
With little to no rainfall, wildlife is easier to spot as animals tend to gather around the remaining water sources around the park. This makes game drives particularly rewarding, as large herds of elephants and predators become more concentrated in visible areas. The weather is mostly sunny and pleasant, though the landscape can get very dry and dusty which sometimes affects visibility. Although you can still clearly see it, the view of Mount Kilimanjaro is less spectacular during the dry season because of the hazy sky.
Wet Season (November - May)
During the wet season the park transforms into a green and lush landscape because of the increased rainfall. This is the best time for birdwatchers, as migratory species flock to the park. From April to June, the park enters its low season, meaning fewer crowds and a more peaceful atmosphere for game drives. While wildlife is more spread out due to the abundance of water, the scenery is at its most beautiful and the view of Mount Kilimanjaro is spectacular. However, heavy rains can make some roads muddy and difficult to navigate. Still, for those who don’t mind a bit of adventure, the wet season offers a unique and rewarding perspective of Amboseli.
Ultimately, the best time to visit Amboseli National Park depends on what you’re looking for, whether it’s prime wildlife viewing in the dry months or vibrant scenery and birdlife in the wet season. Either way, a trip to Amboseli promises an unforgettable adventure.
