Best time to visit Kidepo Valley National Park

The park is open for tourism throughout the year, however the best time to visit is in September to March which is perfect for game viewing animals which gather around Narus valley for water since this is a dry period. Therefore the best weather and peak season months are September, October, November and March and the worst time to visit the park is in April and May since these are the wettest months of the area.
