Winter (May to September, also known as the Dry season) is the best time for wildlife viewing throughout the region. Vegetation thins during this time, while animals seeking water gather at rivers and waterholes, and this only gets better for wildlife watching as the winter goes on. However, because Kapama Game Reserve is a fenced ecosystem, wildlife viewing is less affected by season than would be the case if it formed part of a migratory ecosystem.
