Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Ol Pejeta Wildlife Sanctuary is during the dry season, from June to October. During these months, wildlife is more concentrated around water sources, making it easier to spot animals. The dry weather also makes it perfect for game drives and walking safaris. The rainy season (from March to May) can cause some roads to become muddy, making it more difficult to navigate the sanctuary. However, the rainy season offers lush landscapes, vibrant vegetation, and fewer tourists, which can make for a more peaceful visit. The shoulder months of November and December also offer great conditions for a visit, with mild weather and fewer crowds.
