The dry season (June to October) offers the best view of the park. The vegetation becomes thinner so the wild animals gather around the water sources. So a huge number of wild animals can be seen in one place. The wet season (November to May) gives the amazing view of Kilimanjaro and Meru. The migratory birds are heavily present this time.
