The dry months are okay for spectacular game viewing: game drives, boat safaris, hiking, chimp trekking. Murchison Falls provides unforgettable experiences.
While the park is worth visiting all year round, you’re most likely to spot wildlife During the dry season, from June to September, and from January to March. They tend to congregate around the Nile and other water resources during that period.
More lions are likely to be spotted in the incident, and during wet seasons, elephants will be spotted most.
It is very advisable to visit because, just like humans, wildlife tends to take shelter during the wet season and will be hard to spot. So the game drive won’t give you much on the plate.
