Wet Season — one of the best times to visit

  • Temperatures are high with plenty of sun, rainfall usually takes the form of sporadic afternoon showers.

  • Wildlife has spread out over a large area, making game a little more difficult to spot.

  • An interesting time for photography, the park is at its most spectacular visually, with plenty of sunshine hours in between the rainfall.

  • The park is green and in bloom with migratory birds present in breeding colours.

  • Insect numbers increase at this time of year, so have your repellent close to hand.
