Tsavo West National Park is best visited during the drier months, from June to October and January to February. Although the park can be visited year-round, conditions are more difficult during the peaks of the Wet season (April and November). At this time, animals tend to spread out due to the abundance of water and food, and the vegetation can become quite dense.
