The Highlands are accessible at all times of year. The 'dry' season runs from May until December with short rains from December to February, a short dry spell during February (s the Westerly wind changes to an Easterly wind) and long rains (light rain) from March to May.

The temperature during the winter months of June and July can be quite refreshing especially at night time, so it is advisable to bring some warmer clothing. Frost at night at this time and log fires every day of the year - An Africa you dont expect!.
