Best Time to Visit Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere National Park)
Nyerere National park is a year-round safari destination, but each season offers a different experience.
June – October (Dry Season)
This is the best time for wildlife viewing. Animals gather around the Rufiji River and waterholes, making it easier to spot elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, and other wildlife. The weather is also pleasant for game drives, and walking safaris.
November – February
The landscape becomes greener after the short rains. This is an excellent season for birdwatching as migratory birds arrive, and the park is less crowded.
March – May
This is the long rainy season. The scenery is lush and beautiful, but some roads may become difficult to access. If you prefer fewer visitors and green landscapes, this can still be a rewarding time to travel.
