Seasons

Best Time To Visit
Tsavo East National Park

EXPLORE THE IDEAL TIMES FOR WILDLIFE AND SCENIC EXPERIENCES

The best time to visit Tsavo East National Park is during the dry seasons, from July to September and January to February. Wildlife congregates near water sources, offering incredible viewing opportunities. Avoid the rainy seasons from March to May and October to December, when roads can become impassable and sightings are more challenging.

Peak Season

July to September & January to February

 

From July to September and January to February, the dry season brings wildlife closer to rivers and waterholes.

Clear skies and limited vegetation enhance visibility, making it perfect for safaris and photography.

High Season

June, October, & March

 

The transitional months of June, October, and March balance moderate tourist numbers and wildlife activity.

Occasional rain brings lush landscapes without significantly disrupting game viewing, offering a quieter experience than peak periods.

Low Season

March to May, October to December

 

The rainy months of March to May create verdant greenery ideal for birdwatching, including migratory species.

While dense vegetation makes spotting wildlife harder, it’s a unique time to witness newborn animals and predator activity.
