When to Visit
Dry Season (June to October): During these months, water sources are scarce, which means animals gather around the few remaining waterholes. This increases your chances of close-up sightings. The dry weather also makes for comfortable game drives.
Wet Season (November to May): The park becomes a lush green landscape, and while animals may be more spread out, this season offers dramatic scenery and fewer tourists. Bird life is particularly vibrant during this time.
