PracticalSeasons, health and precautions
When to go, and what to plan for.
Two main seasons: dry from about November to June, rainy from about July to October. The dry season is the most comfortable for parks and tracks.
For vaccinations and malaria prevention, check with a travel clinic or doctor before you leave: advice depends on where you come from and changes over time. Drink bottled water and protect yourself from the sun.
