Best Time To Visit Ajloun Wildlife Reserve

Visiting Ajloun Wildlife Reserve

Ajloun Wildlife Reserve is one of Jordan's most enchanting nature spots, offering a rich biodiversity and a variety of activities for eco-tourists. The best time to visit this reserve is during the spring months, specifically from March to May. During spring, the reserve is a tapestry of wildflowers, including the Black Iris, Jordan's national flower, which blooms splendidly in its natural habitat. The weather in spring is ideal, with comfortable temperatures that average between 10°C to 22°C (50°F to 72°F), perfect for hiking and wildlife watching. The reserve’s oak and pistachio forests come to life with the sounds of migrating birds, making it a haven for birdwatchers. Additionally, spring is the period when the reserve’s eco-lodges are most in-demand, so booking accommodation in advance is highly recommended.

Visiting during the autumn months of September to November is also favorable. The temperatures are cooling down from the summer highs, creating a pleasant climate for outdoor activities such as guided walks and nature trails. Autumn is the time when the reserve's deciduous trees put on a colorful display of golden, amber, and crimson leaves, adding a picturesque charm to the environment. Again, wildlife is more visible as they prepare for the approaching winter. However, tourists should note that the winter period from December to February can be quite cold, and some facilities may have reduced operations during this season, while the summer months of June to August can be extremely hot, potentially hindering full-day outdoor excursions.
