Best Time To Visit Buffalo Spring Reserve

Selecting the right seasonal window guarantees optimal trail conditions and excellent wildlife viewing during your northern holiday. While the sanctuary welcomes visitors all year round the ideal periods depend entirely on the movement of wildlife and local weather patterns:

  • June to September: This primary dry season offers peak game viewing conditions because the surrounding vegetation becomes sparse making it incredibly easy to track majestic predators like lions and leopards across the open plains.
  • January to February: This secondary dry window sees smaller water sources inside the bush dry up completely forcing large herds of elephants, buffaloes and antelopes to congregate around the permanent crystal clear oasis after which the reserve is named.
  • The Rainy Shoulder Seasons: Traveling outside the dry months brings a dramatic transformation to the landscape turning the arid plains into a lush green paradise and attracting hundreds of migratory bird species for a highly unique safari experience.
