Best time of year to visit:

The dry season (May to October) offers ideal weather for walking safaris with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Wildlife concentrates around water sources during this time, making sightings more frequent. However, the green season (November to April) presents lush landscapes and fewer crowds, while offering unique wildlife viewing opportunities near waterholes.
