WHY THE GREEN SEASON IS A GREAT TIME TO VISIT BOTSWANA🌧️🌱🇧🇼
Did you think that a Botswana safari is only about dry landscapes and golden grass?
Think again.
The Green Season brings a completely different side of Botswana; lush landscapes, dramatic skies, fresh vegetation and an abundance of life.
🌱 Lush, green landscapes
The bush transforms after the rains, creating beautiful colours, textures and reflections.
⛈️ Dramatic skies
Storm clouds, rainbows and changing light can create incredible photographic conditions.
🐣 New life
Many animals give birth during this period, making it a fascinating time to witness young wildlife.
🦅 Excellent birding
Migratory birds return and breeding activity increases, bringing more colour and movement to the bush.
📸 More than wildlife
For photographers, the Green Season opens up opportunities to capture landscapes, birds, weather, reflections, young animals and the wider story of the wilderness.
🚙 A quieter experience
It is generally a lower-tourism period, meaning fewer visitors in many areas.
The Green Season isn’t simply the season between the “better” seasons.
It is a different Botswana; vibrant, unpredictable and beautifully alive. 🌿
And sometimes, the weather you might hope to avoid is exactly what makes the photograph.
