The best time to go to Nyanungu for wildlife viewing is during the dry season, which runs from late June to October.During these months, the weather is generally sunny with little to no rain, making it easier to spot wildlife. The vegetation is sparser, and animals tend to congregate around water sources, which simplifies tracking them. This period also coincides with the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River, offering an incredible spectacle for travellers.For those looking for a quieter experience with lush landscapes and birdwatching opportunities, the green season from November to May can also be a good choice. While there might be occasional short rains, the landscape is vibrant, and it's a prime time for bird migration.
