The winter months of May to September are the best time to visit Manyeleti Game Reserve. This coincides with the Dry season, and wildlife viewing is at its peak. Vegetation thins and animals seek and other sources for water, which makes them easier to spot. September is probably the best time of all, since it tends to be warmer than the other winter months.
