Best Time to visit Amboseli National Park
When planning your trip to Amboseli National Park you have thought about Best Time to visit Amboseli National Park, normally this park can be visited throughout the year, but the most rewarding wildlife watching is in the Dry season, from June to October, when animals gather around the marshes and other predictable water sources. When dry, animals crossing the sandy plains tend to kick up a lot of dust, offering some great photo opportunities when the light is low.
Normally we have two seasons in tourism that facilitates you to decide the best time to visit Amboseli National Park which is low season and high season.
High / Peak Season: June to October
- The grass is shorter which makes animals easier to spot and they don’t stray far from water sources.
- Mostly sunny with very little to no rain.
- Rates are higher and the park can get rather busy.
Low / Green Season: November to May
- The short rains peak in November, and the long rains in April and May.
- Scenically Amboseli is at its best – a superb time for photography.
- Best time to visit for bird watching.
- Best views of Kilimanjaro – skies are clear of dust.
- Lower rates and the park is quieter due to wet road conditions (around April and May).
