The best time to visit Yabelo is during the dry season, which runs from October to February.
During these months, the weather is generally sunny and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the natural landscapes and wildlife. Temperatures are usually warm during the day but comfortable, and evenings are cooler. This period avoids the heavier rains, which can make some roads less accessible and outdoor activities less enjoyable.
For travellers interested in wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching, the dry season is especially good as animals tend to congregate around the remaining water sources, making them easier to spot. This is also when the unique cultural events and local markets are often in full swing, offering a more authentic experience.
While the dry season is generally preferred, those who don't mind occasional showers and want to see the landscape at its greenest might consider the shoulder months of March or September.
