June to October – Best Overall Time

Horse riding safaris
Nature walks
Golf
Animal Rescue Centre visits
Photography of Mount Kenya
Dry weather also makes exploring the surrounding Laikipia region much easier.
January to February – Excellent Weather & Clear Mountain Views
The short dry season offers another outstanding opportunity to visit. Days are generally sunny and warm, while mornings and evenings remain pleasantly cool due to the altitude. This is one of the best periods for photography and enjoying unobstructed views of Mount Kenya.
November to December – Green Season
Following the short rains, the gardens and surrounding conservancy become lush and vibrant. Birdwatching is excellent, wildlife remains active, and the property is generally quieter than during peak travel periods.
