The seasons completely govern wildlife activities and movements, so it is important to time your visit according to what you most want to see and do.

Fifteen distinct ecological zones, from swamp to desert contain around 2000 botanical species which support 292 recorded land mammals and over 1000 bird species.

'Green season' combines superior game viewing with low season prices not widely realized even by safari veterans. Please consult with vacationtechnician.com to determine the best times and destinations to travel for your particular interests.

The very general seasonal guideline for game viewing is:

» Spring and Summer - (October to May)
This is the best time for baby animals. It’s hot and it’s wet (in some places, too wet). The sun/rain/sun cycle makes the bush grow fast and dense, and game viewing becomes harder. Deserts sometimes bloom; floodplains flood; bird and insect life is prolific.

» Autumn and Winter - (June to September)
Sunny most of the time, can be cold at night. The foliage has been grazed and browsed, thus increasing visibility. Surface water dries up and wildlife starts to congregate in the vicinity of remaining water pans and rivers.
