The ideal time to visit the Kep Butterfly Farm is between November and May, during Cambodia's dry season. During this period, the country experiences less rainfall which makes it more comfortable for visitors to walk around and enjoy the outdoor attractions, including the butterfly farm. The weather is predominantly warm and pleasant with clear skies, ensuring that the vivacious colors of the butterflies can be appreciated in natural daylight. Additionally, this season is perfect for photographers aiming to capture the beauty of butterflies in their natural habitat without the hindrance of rain.
Visiting in the morning is particularly recommended as the butterflies are most active then, offering a spectacular showcase of fluttering wings. Morning is also when the temperature is comparatively cooler and more agreeable for walking through the gardens. It is essential to note that the months of March to May can get quite warm, so earlier visits are preferable for those aiming to avoid the heat. To ensure the best experience, plan your visit on a sunny day when butterflies are more likely to be seen basking in the sunlight and feeding on the nectar of blooming flowers.
