The best time to visit Onguma is generally during the dry season, which runs from May to October.


During these months, the weather is typically clear and warm, with cooler nights. This period offers the best wildlife viewing opportunities as animals congregate around the waterholes, making them easier to spot. It's also a more comfortable time for safari activities as there's less vegetation and fewer mosquitos.


For those looking for prime wildlife encounters and comfortable outdoor activities, the dry season is ideal.
