Weather information special for bird watchers

The other variable for bird watchers is the weather, Kenya's seasons come in two basic flavours - wet and dry.
Aside from the obvious disadvantages of trying to peer through binoculars in a tropical storm the rainy seasons can leave many roads and tracks unusable, especially if you don't have the advantage of 4WD.This can leave some parks, or parts of some parks, totally unreachable.

Seasons:

The long rains are usually between March and June with the highest levels of rainfall in April and May.
The short rains start in late October and go through to December. It does however vary throughout the country and Northern Kenya is generally happy for any rain it can get.
