Solio Ranch Best Time To Visit
Anthony is the author of the Lonely Planet guide to Kenya.
Wildlife viewing at Solio Ranch is good at any time, but the best months for seeing animals are from June to September during the Dry season. From December to February it’s also quite dry and a good time to visit, with birding best during this period. Heavy rains in April and November, the peaks of the Wet season (October to May), can disrupt safari plans and make track conditions poor.
