When planning the trip to Selous Game Reserve or any other National Park in Tanzania or Eastern Africa, it is better to know the best time to visit like the best time to visit Selous Game Reserve. June to October is the dry season which is the ideal time to observe wildlife in the park. The wildlife is easier to see because the vegetation isn’t thick and the wild animals have gathered around the known water sources, being the lakes and other water holes. This is the high season in the Selous Game Reserve. However, after the short rains of November and early December, the reserve is lush and green again and what is known as the green season of mid-December through March, is a great time to visit too. Whilst it is getting hotter in temperature, many animals have their young during this season.

Subsequent to the end of the heavy rains, the roads are extremely impassable and many of the camps are closed as the wet season comes to an end. A good time to observe the scares wild dogs is during their denning phase

Since migratory birds coming from Europe or the northern part of Africa are present starting in April, this the finest time for watching birds.
