When is the best time for bird-watching?

Though birders may want to visit when the migratory birds are in the area and photographers, around the rains when the landscape tends to be more photogenic.

We invite you to explore the migration Callender for birds in Ruaha

February to April. For birders, the best time to visit Ruaha is during the long rains between February and April, when the migrant birds arrive.

The wet season is a time when the park is at its lushest, with wildflowers peppering the rich, verdant grasslands.

This is also an excellent time for landscape photographers to visit.

When is the best time for wildlife viewing?

The best time to see predators and large mammals is during the dry season (mid-May to December – January ).

May to October. The long, dry season between June and October is the best time to see large mammals and big cats.

As the rivers dry up, animals congregate around the remaining water sources, making them much easier to find.

June is also breeding season for the greater kudu, so you’ll see lots of males with their elegant, twisted horns.

November to January. This is the hottest time of year, but there’s good wildlife viewing as the animals are still active.

It’s also the beginning of the rainy season. Visitors can expect hot, humid days and afternoon showers.

This aspect is much overstated. You will rarely see a snake, but if you do, it will most likely be from the safety of your safari vehicle. Tents and lodges all have bug screens fitted to windows and doors. In most areas where bugs or mosquitoes are prevalent, rooms and tents are also equipped with mosquito nets, adding to the idealistic ambiance. Bear in mind that malaria is a threat in most wildlife areas, and it is necessary to consult your doctor for advice before embarking on your safari.

Note – the migration is a natural event and the timing varies month by month; year by year. A good thing is it won’t happen in one day it takes time to complete. And we update most of our clients once the migration starts, so if your great desire is to witness the migration communicate with us in advance so as we can try our best to assure your encounter. Please note that the vast majority of travelers do not witness the wildebeest crossing of the Mara as the timing and duration varies widely each year. The best probable months are July, August, September

Around the turn of the century (until the ’30s and ’40s), mobile tenting was the only option, and “camp as you go” was the standard practice. Over the years the luxury connected with the traditional mobile tenting safari has increased. By the same token, one can understand that the cost of having a “luxury hotel” following one around in Africa is expensive. However, most people settle for permanent tented camps. Because they are “permanent” they can be equipped with flush toilets and traditional bathroom fixtures and conveniences. Don’t be misled by terminology – a permanent tented camp offers the comfort of a 5-star hotel but with the romance and adventure of being surrounded by the sights and sounds of Africa.
