When is the best time for spotting lion?

During the summer months it is advisable to do early morning and late afternoon drives as lions prefer to spend the hot parts of the day in shade or dense vegetation, making it difficult to spot them. They are seen more readily during the day in the cooler winter months. Being mainly nocturnal, they are often seen on night drives.
