Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Crescent Island is during the dry season, from June to October, when the weather is pleasant, and wildlife viewing is at its peak. During these months, the animals tend to gather near water sources, making them easier to spot. The rainy season (from March to May) can bring lush green landscapes, but the trails may be muddy, and walking safaris could be less comfortable. The shoulder months of November and December also provide good weather for visiting, with fewer crowds and mild temperatures, offering a more peaceful experience. However, this period can see occasional rains.
