Best Time to Visit

Wet Season (also known as the "green season"):

Duration: November to May.

This season is characterized by frequent, short bursts of rain, especially from March to May, which is the peak of the wet season.

The landscape becomes lush and green, with an abundance of fresh vegetation. This is the breeding season for many animals, and migratory birds are abundant.

Temperatures are typically warm, and it can be quite humid.

 

Dry Season (also known as the "low season"):

Duration: June to October.

This is the cooler, dry season, with very little to no rain. Temperatures can still be high during the day but tend to cool down at night.

The grasslands dry out, and animals are drawn to the remaining water sources, which makes it easier to spot wildlife.

The dry season is also when the Great Migration reaches its peak as animals move in search of fresh grazing land and water.

Book your visit during these recommended times for the best experience.
