Tassia is an excellent destination throughout the year due to the watering holes around the Lekurruki Conservancy. However, the best wildlife viewing is from July to October (the long dry season) or during January and February (the short dry season) This is due to the limited water sources, which forces the wildlife to gather around the waterholes in the Lekurruki Conservancy.
