When To Visit Nakuru and Naivasha

The best time to visit Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha is during the dry seasons from January to March and July to October, when wildlife viewing is excellent, roads are easily accessible, and birdlife—including flamingos—is at its most spectacular.

The green seasons (April–June and November) bring lush scenery, fewer visitors, and beautiful photography opportunities, making them ideal for travelers seeking a quieter, more exclusive luxury safari experience with Camptrek Safari
