Best Time to Visit Tsavo National Park
No matter what time of year you choose to go on a Tsavo National Park safari, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable adventure. However, each season offers something unique and your experience may vary slightly depending on whether you visit during the dry season or the wet season.
June – October (Dry season)
The main reason that many decide to visit Tsavo National Park during the dry season is because this period offers some of the best opportunities for wildlife viewing. With limited water sources available, animals such as elephants and lions tend to gather around rivers and waterholes, making them easier to spot on safari drives.
The weather is generally warm and sunny with very little rainfall. However, the intense sun mean the park can become dry and dusty, especially in Tsavo East’s open plains, so it’s best to bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water.
November – May (Wet season)
During the wet season, Tsavo National Park transforms into a lush, green paradise. The rain transforms the plains, creating stunning scenery and excellent photo opportunities. This is also the best time for birdwatching, as migratory species arrive.
If you’re looking for a quieter, less crowded experience, April to June marks the low season, offering a more peaceful safari atmosphere. While there’s more rainfall during these months, showers are often short and followed by clear skies, but it’s still wise to bring light rain gear and waterproof shoes.
No matter when you decide to go on a Tsavo National Park safari it’ll be an experience that you’ll never forget!
