Are you interested in seeing the African \u2018Big 5\u2019 and want to know when the best time to see these before confirming your Acacia Africa trip? Check out Southern and East Africa\u2019s best months to travel:<\/b><\/p>\n

Uganda<\/b><\/p>\n

Uganda most visited\u00a0 Park is the Queen Elizabeth National Park which has an astounding amount of mammals and bird life including the rare tree climbing lions and roaming chimpanzees. The best time to visit is from December – March or June – September, when it is predominantly dry. Check out more about Uganda [Link to – http:\/\/www.acacia-africa.com\/uganda\/<\/a>]\n

Kenya<\/b><\/p>\n

The best time to go on safari in Kenya and experience a huge density and diversity of wildlife is when the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gnu\u2019s descend on the Mara plains which makes a great feeding ground for the predators. The best time to see this wildlife spectacle is from July to October. Other parks in Kenya are also excellent and the best time to visit these would be during the dry seasons — January through March and July through October. \u00a0Check out Acacia\u2019s hot tours in Kenya [Link to – http:\/\/www.acacia-africa.com\/kenya\/<\/a>]\n

Tanzania<\/b><\/p>\n

If you want to see the migration unfold, head to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park (Northern Tanzania). The best time to witness the migration is around February-March when the wildebeest and zebra give birth to their young. Not only do you get the opportunity to see the babies, but the predators are at their highest number too. It is also great to visit Tanzanian parks as a whole from June – November through the dry months where the animals congregate around permanent waterholes and it is not too hot and humid at this time of year.

Zambia<\/b><\/p>\n

The best time to enjoy Zambia’s wildlife is from September through mid-November which is the end of the dry season. Elephants abound and large herds of buffalo, impala, zebra and others congregate in the Lower Zambezi Valley. April to September is also a good time to go.

Zimbabwe<\/b><\/p>\n

Between the months of July to October is the best time to go to Zimbabwe’s excellent wildlife parks, especially Hwange the<\/span> largest game reserve in the country. Just in time as well to try White water rafting on the mighty Zambezi from August to December when the water is low and the rapids are fast. [Link to: http:\/\/www.acacia-africa.com\/zimbabwe\/<\/a>]\u00a0<\/p>\n

Botswana<\/b><\/p>\n

June through September is the best time to go on safari in Botswana. There is little chance of rain and the weather is still nice and warm during the day. Huge herds congregate around the Okavango Delta during this time, making a trip in a mokoro (traditional canoe) extremely rewarding. [Link to: http:\/\/www.acacia-africa.com\/botswana\/<\/a>]\n

Namibia<\/b><\/p>\n

Etosha National Park is Namibia’s prime safari destination and the best time to visit is from May to September. This is Namibia’s dry season (despite being mostly desert, there are still seasons in Namibia!) and animals congregate around the water holes making viewing easier. Many birders come to Namibia, and the best time to visit is during the summer months from December to March, but is prepared for some very hot and humid weather.

South Africa<\/b><\/p>\n

The prime safari areas in South Africa around Kruger National Park are best visited from June through September when the weather is cooler and dry. But South Africa’s wildlife parks have better infrastructure than most parks in Africa, so rains don’t necessarily mean the roads will be washed out. There are also many excellent game parks in South Africa’s Eastern Cape region which experiences less rain during the winter months than in the north of the country.
