Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Mount Longonot National Park is during the dry season, from June to October when the weather is clear, and the hiking trails are more accessible. The dry season also provides the best conditions for wildlife sightings as animals are more likely to be seen near waterholes. The rainy season, from March to May, can make the trails slippery and muddy, which may hinder hiking and wildlife viewing.
