Best Time for the The Panorama Route & Kruger
Sweet spot: April, May, June — computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
Dry winter: thin bush and busy waterholes make Kruger's game easiest to spot; mornings are cold.
Green season — newborn animals and dramatic skies, but taller grass hides the cats and afternoons bring storms.
