Mudumu is best visited during the Dry season, from June to September. During this time the foliage shrinks, accommodating better wildlife viewing. As water dries up in the bush, permanent water sources attract wildlife and this makes it easier to find animals. In the Wet season, animals tend to spread out among the thicker vegetation, making wildlife-watching more difficult.

Best Time June to September (Animals congregate around water sources)

High Season July to November (The park never gets crowded)

Low Season December to June (Low-season rates may apply in some lodges)

Best Weather May to August (Less hot during the day)

Worst Weather September to February (Very hot)
