when to visit iSimangaliso Wetland Park

When to visit iSimangaliso Wetland Park largely depends on what you wish to experience. The dry season (May to September) is ideal for game viewing, as animals congregate around water sources and the vegetation is less dense. This period also offers cooler temperatures and lower humidity. For birdwatching, the wet season (October to April) is excellent due to the influx of migratory birds and increased breeding activity. During this time, the park is lush and green, though temperatures are higher and there’s a greater chance of rain. Turtle nesting season, for loggerheads and leatherbacks, typically runs from November to March, with hatchlings emerging from January to May. Whale watching season generally occurs from June to November.
