Best Time To Visit
The game park experiences one annual rainy season from April to September with very light rainfall. During the dry season, the only permanent water in the park is found in wetlands and remnant pools along the southern Narus Valley near Apoka and as a result, wildlife is concentrated in this area. This consideration, coupled with the valley’s open savannah habitat, makes it the park’s prime game viewing location.
