BOTSWANA'S "Green Season"

Take advantage of Botswana's "Green Season'' rates, effective between December 2003 and the end of May 2004.

During this period, special fares are available for fly-in lodge safaris, and mobile tented safaris. Possible combinations are 3 nights in an Okavango delta lodge, and 3 nights in Moremi or Chobe National Park.

Mobile tented safaris, starting from Maun or Victoria Falls, often include the Makgadikgadi Pans or Central Kalahari Game Reserve on their itineraries during these months. Fine summer grasses attract herds of plains game, and behind them come the predators.

Climatic conditions, with late afternoon thunderstorms, create dramatic contrasts for photographic opportunities.
