Mudumu National Park is best visited during the Dry season (May to October), with ideal conditions from May to September. In the drier months, the foliage thins out and animals are drawn to permanent water sources as water dries up in the bush. This makes it easier to find animals. In the Wet season (November to April), animals tend to spread out among the thicker vegetation, making wildlife viewing more difficult.

Best Time May to September (Animals gather around water sources)

High Season July to October (The park never gets crowded)

Low Season November to June (Low-season rates may apply in some lodges)

Best Weather May to August (Less hot during the day)

Worst Weather October to March (Very hot; rains often)
