The prime time to see wildlife in Kidepo Valley National Park is during the Dry season (September to March). Kidepo is, however, located in a semi-arid region and can be visited throughout the year. The Wet season (April to August) is pleasantly less hot and beautifully scenic. Bird watching is at its best at this time as well.
