The road to Bemaraha National Park is impassable in the Wet season, from late November to March. The park and lodges close during this time. April is usually fine for a visit, but many roads may still be in poor shape. The area is very hot, so hiking conditions are best in the cooler months from May to October. July and August offer the coolest conditions, but these are also the busiest months.
