The best months for wildlife viewing in Majete Wildlife Reserve are July to October, during the middle and end of the Dry season. At this time, water is scarce so the wildlife tends to gather at the remaining water sources. Keep in mind, however, that October is very hot and not the ideal time for being in the bush.
