The best time to visit Lake Bogoria National Reserve is when there are lots of flamingos, but it’s impossible to predict when this will happen. In recent years, flamingo numbers have been quite low, but there can be a good number of flamingos at any time of year. The Wet and Dry seasons follow a different pattern to many parks farther south.
