When to go
June to October is ideal for game viewing, as the dry conditions concentrate animals around the river. The dry season offers excellent wildlife sightings with fewer tourists. The rainy season (March-May) is quieter and offers lush landscapes, although access can sometimes be challenging due to mud and rain.
