Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for wildlife photography tours in Nanyuki?
The dry seasons, generally from June to October and December to March, offer the best opportunities for wildlife photography in Nanyuki. During these periods, water sources are limited, attracting animals and making them more visible. However, the lush green landscapes and migratory birds of the wet seasons (April-May and November) also provide unique photographic subjects and fewer crowds.

Nanyuki and its surrounding conservancies offer incredible diversity. You can expect to photograph the 'Big Five' (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo), as well as cheetahs, wild dogs, giraffes, zebras, various antelope species, and a rich array of birdlife.
