The prime time for viewing wildlife in Greater Makalali Private Game Reserve is during the winter months (Dry season) from May to September. The plant life thins in the dry weather while animals seek water at reliable sources and are easier to spot. The wildlife viewing improves as the season continues. September, which is less cold than the rest of the winter, is a particularly nice time in the area.
