What to See

Best Time to Visit

The Best Time to Visit Nyerere National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. This period brings clear skies, mild temperatures, and better wildlife sightings, as animals cross around waterholes. The wet season (November to May) sees lush greenery and an influx of migratory birds, making it a great time for birdwatching. However, the wet season may cause some areas to be less accessible due to rains, and it can be more difficult to spot wildlife. The dry months are ideal for game drives, boat safaris, and other outdoor activities.
