Mkhaya Private Game Reserve Best Time To Visit
Alan researched and wrote about Swaziland for Lonely Planet.
Wildlife viewing in Mkhaya Game Reserve is good throughout the year. Especially since some animals are kept in large drive-through enclosures. Traditionally, the best wildlife viewing is during the dry winter months from May to September. At this time, animals congregate around rivers and waterholes. The wettest months, from November to February, are less ideal as the rain might interfere with your afternoon safari, and it tends to be very hot and humid.
