All Months
April through September gives you the sweet spot — dry season with comfortable temperatures. May and June are perfect. Clear skies, minimal rain, and daytime temps around 25°C. Wildlife viewing at nearby parks peaks during these months as animals gather around water sources. October gets brutally hot before the rains arrive. December through March brings heavy downpours that can flood streets and make rural roads impassable. But here's the upside — accommodation prices drop significantly during wet season, and the landscape turns green and dramatic.
