Northern Tuli Game Reserve Best Time To Visit
Anthony is the author of the Lonely Planet guide to Botswana.
Wildlife viewing in Northern Tuli Game Reserve is best during the Dry season (April to October), with ideal conditions from May to September. During these months, animals gather at the rivers and few remaining water sources in this semi-arid area, often migrating from afar. The vegetation is also thinner, which means high-quality predator sightings.
