Obviously, school holidays impact how busy the parks will get, but even at the busiest times of year the parks still give you a sense a freedom against any potential ‘busy’ period. The climate is tropical
and coastal areas are hot and humid, while the northwestern highlands are cool and temperate. There are two rainy seasons; the short rains are generally from October to December, while the long rains last from March to June. The central plateau tends to be dry and arid throughout the year.
