The dry season – from May to November – sees moderate to warm daytime temperatures and cooler evenings, with excellent game viewing opportunities due to reduced vegetation cover. The drier conditions force the animals to move to the river and main channels of the marshes for water. The congregation of animals near the water makes it easier to see them and is perfect for first-time safari visitors. The wet season – December to April – is much warmer during the day, with higher humidity and short, intense rain showers and storms in the afternoons, especially in January and February. While game viewing is considered more challenging at this time, the explosion of new plant and animal life across the park that follows is worth the additional effort—all of this against the backdrop of intense, spectacular stormy skylines throughout.
