You may have heard these common misconceptions…
“The grass is too tall”; “It rains all the time”; “Do you even see any animals”
But -
• Migratory bird species arrive, beautiful breeding plumage, mating calls, and the birding counts can head into the hundreds.
• New grass growth provides new food for herbivores - dropping all their young at the same time which can overwhelm predators.
• More prey, makes for easier pickings for predators, barring protective mothers and herd immunity mentality
• Rain in Botswana is normally the short and sharp version, impressive cloud build-ups, dramatic thunder and lightning displays, a quick downpour, then the adventure continues.
• PRICE! Green season attracts some fantastic discounts of around 40% less than Peak Season prices.
