Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit North West is during the dry winter months, from May to September. The dry season makes wildlife viewing easier, as animals gather around waterholes, and the vegetation is sparse. The cooler temperatures also provide comfortable conditions for outdoor activities like safaris, hiking, and photography. The wet season, from November to April, brings warmer temperatures and lush greenery, making it a great time for birdwatching, as migratory species arrive, but wildlife sightings can be more challenging due to dense foliage.
