Generally, the best period to visit Kora National Park is during its dry seasons which are in June to October and January to February. During this these times the wildlife is easier to spot as they gather around water sources and the park’s terrain is more accessible due to favorable weather.

Dry season – This is between June to October and January to February. Ideal time for wildlife viewing.

Low Season

This is during the long and short rainy seasons. The park is lush with greenery, but some roads may become challenging to navigate due to mud. Wildlife can be harder to spot due to dense vegetation, and visitor numbers are minimal, offering solitude.

High Season

January to March, October

The weather is drier and more suitable for game drives. Vegetation begins to thin out, making wildlife slightly easier to see. Visitor numbers are moderate, and accommodation availability is better than during peak season.
