When is the best time to travel weather wise?
It really depends on the type of animal you wish to see. Certain reserves have good game viewing all year round but others will have particularly good sightings or at different times of the year. It is generally felt that the African winter (June – August) is the best time to go on safari, as the grass is dry and vegetation sparse making game viewing easier. It is also the time when animals are on the move looking for food and water.
