Winter Months – Mid May, June, July, early August, although the days are warm with beautiful blue skies, the evenings can get cold and temperatures below freezing have been recorded. We recommend that you bring warm winter clothing including hats, gloves and scarves.
Summer months – September through to May are warm to hot; with warm evenings. This is also the rainfall season. We recommend you bring your bathing suite to enjoy a dip between game drives.
Rainy season – Generally between late November and April although the occasional rain can occur out of these dates.
August, September, October and early November are by far the best months for game viewing in this park. Water becomes extremely scarce and the animals congregate around the few pumped waterholes.
During the rainy season from late November through to April, a completely different park emerges to that of the dry season. Parched savannahs turn into lush fields with an abundance of grazing. The animals disperse and game viewing becomes more wide spread. Newly born animals can be seen everywhere and the birdlife is absolutely prolific.
