Best time to visit Anula
The dry season (May to October) is ideal: warm days (25–32°C), low humidity, and minimal rain. This period offers comfortable conditions for exploring Kakadu, Litchfield, and Darwin’s outdoor events. The wet season (November to April) brings high humidity, monsoon storms, and potential cyclones, but also lush landscapes and fewer tourists. For wildlife and waterfalls at peak flow, visit March–April.
