Kwandwe’s wildlife viewing is favorable all year, but is marginally best in the driest months of the year (June through September). This is during the winter season, and it can become very cold at times. It is important to prepare for this with warm clothing, which is particularly important for evening and morning game drives in open vehicles. The warmer summer months (October to April) are more pleasant.
