Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Gorongosa National Park is during the dry season, from May to October. This period offers ideal wildlife viewing conditions as animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. The weather is also more comfortable, with clear skies and cooler temperatures, perfect for safaris and photography. However, the wet season, from November to April, brings lush vegetation and vibrant landscapes, attracting migratory birds and offering fantastic birdwatching opportunities. The wet season is also quieter, making for a more serene experience, though wildlife spotting can be more challenging.
