The best time to visit is from August to November. It is generally very wet, but it tends to rain less at this time and when it does, it is a gentle rain. Hiking conditions are also good in the colder months from May to July, but at this time reptiles and amphibians are less easy to find and some lemurs are less active. Many lemurs have their babies around October/November.
