Samburu National Reserve in December

The Samburu National Reserve can be visited all year round but there are favorable months depending on your interests. There are two seasons in Samburu National Reserve: The dry and wet season. They both come in two phases. The dry season runs from December to February and Mid June to September. The wet seasons run from October to November and March to mid June.

The month of December is one of the favorable months to take a trip in Samburu National Reserve. Being the last month of the year and having the festive season, you can have more time to explore other things rather than just hike through the Samburu National Reserve in December. This month is also a dry month and being a transitional month, it has some rain as well.

It’s always advised that you work with a local tour operator to help you determine the best time to travel since they are always on the grown and follow the weather developments.
