When to Visit Mana Pools

The best time to visit Mana Pools National Park is during the Dry Season (June to October), when wildlife viewing is at its peak. As the inland pans dry up, animals congregate in massive numbers along the Zambezi River and the park’s permanent pools, offering incredible sightings of “standing” elephants, wild dogs, and lions. While June to August offers pleasant daytime temperatures and cool nights, September and October are the best months for high-density wildlife action, though the heat can be intense. Note that many camps close during the Wet Season (November to March) as the roads become impassable and animals disperse into the lush, green interior.
