Green season

The short rains bring the whole ecosystem back to life — lush green plains, newborn animals everywhere and a spike in migratory birdlife, all at noticeably lower lodge rates and with far fewer vehicles at each sighting.

What to expect
Short, usually late-afternoon rain showers that clear quickly
Dramatic green landscapes and excellent photography light
Peak birdlife, including migratory species from Europe and Asia
Meaningfully lower lodge and camp rates than peak season
