Introduction

Savvy travellers avoid the high numbers of travellers in the peak months between June and October. Rather, consider Botswana’s Green Season which runs from November through April. 

Although Botswana’s Green Season coincides with most of the country’s annual rainfall, most of the rain falls between January and February in the form of short but spectacular afternoon thunderstorms that leave the landscape beautifully lush and green. The emerald-green grass, lit with that golden light, a backdrop of dramatic, dark storm clouds and bolts of lightning followed by rainbows and crystal clear air is the perfect setting for astonishingly stunning wildlife images. 

An explosion of births coincides with the arrival of the rains each year between January and April. The grazing species take advantage of the lush, abundant grass and give birth seemingly all at once! This is great news for predators and can make for dramatic wildlife sightings and photographic opportunities. And remember, predators such as lions, leopards and wild dogs are territorial, they live in the same area year round.

In addition to fewer people and stunning natural beauty, Green Season also offers exceptional savings. Rates are lower, supplements for single travellers are waived and there are Stay 4 – Pay 3 specialsto consider.

So consider Botswana’s Rainbow Season! First-time safari goers won’t be disappointed with the wildlife experience on-offer between November and May, seasoned safari enthusiasts will appreciate the contrast and brilliant green landscape anew, and everyone can find an exceptional savings on an exceptional safari experience.
