Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers good wildlife viewing throughout the year, although the best time to visit is during the Dry season (June to September). The dry spell from December to February is also very good. Heavy downpours in the peaks of the Wet season can disrupt planned excursions. A 4x4 vehicle is essential if visiting in the rainy months of October to November and March to May.
