💡 Good to know
- The drier season usually gives firmer road conditions and cooler mornings. Wildlife locations still vary, and the operator must check the current tracks, gates, permits and overnight inventory.
- The parks remain year-round destinations, but rain can close internal tracks or change the workable game-drive area. Travel only after the operator confirms the current route and a safe daylight plan; no migration or sighting is guaranteed.
