Nyika National Park doesn’t follow the same pattern as other parks in the region when it comes to the best months to visit. The wet summer months from November to May are the best time for wildlife viewing on Nyika Plateau, as the weather is fair and less cold for visitors. There also tends to be more animals on the plateau at this time.
