Mudumu National Park Best Time To Visit
Anthony is the author of the 'Botswana & Namibia' Lonely Planet guide.
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.
