The Best Time to Visit Katavi National Park is during the dry season, which typically occurs from June to October. During this period, the park's water sources diminish, forcing wildlife to concentrate around remaining waterholes and rivers, making for exceptional game viewing opportunities. The dry season also coincides with Katavi's peak tourist season, offering optimal weather conditions for safari activities and wildlife photography. However, for birdwatchers, the wet season from November to May brings migratory bird species to the park, adding an additional dimension to the safari experience.
