Weather and timing
Wildlife viewing depends on migration, rainfall, breeding seasons, and animal behavior. Dry seasons can improve visibility, but green seasons may offer fewer crowds and lush scenery.
Choose travel dates around the species and experience you care about, not only around general destination weather.
