Overview

Lake Bogoria National Reserve, located in Kenya’s Rift Valley, is one of the country’s most unique and captivating natural wonders.

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Lake Bogoria National Reserve is during the dry season, from June to October. This is when the flamingos migrate to the lake in large numbers, providing the best birdwatching opportunities. The weather during this time is generally sunny and dry, making it ideal for outdoor activities like wildlife viewing, photography, and hiking. The rainy season (from March to May) brings lush greenery but can make the roads around the lake slippery and less accessible, especially during heavy rainfall.
