You can Visit the Samburu in August or any time of the year but you will have to choose the time carefully considering your interests and budget. The area has two seasons, the wet and dry seasons. The seasons also come in two as well. There are two dry seasons and two wet seasons in a year. 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.
Despite the fact that the month can be dry, it is also cold especially in the early mornings. There are no guarantees that there will be no rains during this month since it’s a dry season. August being the middle month of the season, it’s expected to be hot but you should carry some clothes for the rain. Consult with your tour operator to advise accordingly.
