Continued rains with high water levels in rivers, ideal for bird watching but challenging for game drives.

End of the rainy season, landscapes are green and lush, and wildlife is more dispersed.

Transition to dry season, with decreasing rains and wildlife becoming easier to spot as vegetation thins.

Start of the dry season, cooler temperatures, and excellent wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources.

Cool and dry, optimal for safari with clear skies and increasing wildlife sightings.

Peak dry season, very dry and cool, with high concentrations of wildlife around remaining water sources.

Continued dry conditions, excellent visibility for wildlife, and comfortable temperatures.

Temperatures start to pick up while conditions are still perfect. Wildlife is still abundant, and this is a good time for birdwatching.

Hotter temperatures as the dry season progresses. Water sources start to diminish, leading to concentrated wildlife around the remaining waterholes.

Beginning of the rainy season, hot with sporadic rains, lush landscapes start to reappear.
