June to October is the prime time for watching wildlife in Mkomazi National Park. This is the Dry season, when vegetation is thinner and animals gather near water. However, elephants and some other herbivores migrate to the park from neighboring Tsavo West National Park in Kenya during the Wet season months of November to May. The general scenery and mountain views are better at this time as well.
