While on safari, it’s essential to respect the wildlife and environment
Safari Etiquette
Keep Noise to a Minimum: Animals are sensitive to sound; whispering is encouraged to avoid startling them.
Stay Inside the Vehicle: For your safety and that of the animals, always remain inside the vehicle unless your guide instructs otherwise.
Wildlife Interactions
Animal Behavior: Each safari offers a unique opportunity to witness animal interactions and behaviors, from a lion pride lounging under a tree to elephants splashing in a watering hole.
Photographic Moments: Bring a good camera and binoculars; you'll want to capture the breathtaking scenery and incredible wildlife encounters.
Climate and Weather
Mild Conditions: Daytime temperatures during the dry season (May to September) are generally warm, while nights can be cool—perfect for cozy evenings by the fire.
Packing Essentials: Bring layers, sun protection, and comfortable footwear for both game drives and bush walks.
Best Time to Go on Safari
Dry Season (May to September)
Wildlife Viewing: This is the prime time for spotting wildlife as animals gather around limited water sources, making them easier to see.
Optimal Weather: Enjoy clear skies and pleasant temperatures, perfect for outdoor activities.
Green Season (October to April)
Lush Landscapes: The bush comes alive with vibrant greenery, and many animals give birth, making it a picturesque time for photographers.
Bird Watching: Migratory birds return, providing an excellent opportunity for bird enthusiasts.
