Best Safari Destinations in Africa

The best time to visit Africa and wildlife parks is from May to September. This is the dry season and animals congregate around waterholes and rivers. May and September are wonderful because it is less cold and, especially in September, the wildlife viewing is excellent, when the lack of grass and foliage increases visibility, and the animals and birds are forced to congregate around limited water sources.
