Best time to visit Nakuru:

Dry Season (June to October): This period is generally considered the prime time to visit the Southern Rift Valley. The weather is drier and cooler, making it ideal for wildlife safaris in Maasai Mara National Reserve, visiting Amboseli National Park, and experiencing the Great Migration.

Short Rainy Season (November to December): The region experiences short rains during these months. These rains are usually less intense compared to the main rainy season and might occur sporadically. It's a transitional period between the dry and wet seasons.

Long Rainy Season (March to May): The main rainy season occurs during these months. The rainfall can be heavy and continuous, leading to muddy roads and travel disruptions. However, it's a time when the landscapes become lush and green, and it's an excellent time for birdwatching.
