When to Visit Liuwa Plain National Park

The best time to visit Liuwa Plain National Park is from late October to December, when the first rains trigger Africa’s second-largest wildebeest migration. During this “short wet season,” thousands of animals surge onto the plains to give birth, attracting intense predator action under dramatic, storm-swept skies. For those preferring easier travel, May to July offers lush, accessible landscapes and spectacular birdwatching as the floods recede, while the park remains largely inaccessible during the peak rains from January to April.
