Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Makakatana?
The best time to visit Makakatana for optimal wildlife viewing is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, the bushveld vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot animals. Water sources also become scarcer, drawing wildlife to the remaining waterholes and the shores of Lake St. Lucia, allowing for more predictable sightings. The weather is generally cooler and drier, making outdoor activities like game drives and boat safaris more comfortable. This period is particularly good for travelers interested in seeing a wide variety of animals without the heavy rains.

The shoulder seasons, April and November, also offer a good experience. While there might be occasional rain, the landscape is greener, and you can still enjoy excellent wildlife viewing opportunities with fewer visitors.
