Summer (March to May)
Summers are warm, with temperatures ranging between 20°C and 32°C. This is also a good time for wildlife sightings, as animals gather around water sources. Activities like guided walks and safaris are best planned early in the morning or in the evening.
Monsoon (June to September)
