The dry season, from June to October, is considered the best period for game viewing because animals gather around water sources and vegetation is less dense. Travelers visiting during this time have excellent opportunities to see predators and large herds of wildlife. The green season, from November to May, offers beautiful landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent birdwatching opportunities.
