WHEN SHOULD YOU TRAVEL?
When to visit
June–October is a common starting point for a dry-season safari. Choose the park and area individually; wildlife and migration do not follow a fixed calendar.
Choose a month to see what might suit your trip. This advice reflects typical conditions; check your region and dates before booking.
