What you'll do

Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Game Reserve is just splendid during the “Green Season”— a time when beautiful new shoots paint the open desert plains. The lush vegetation induces the antelope birthing season in early to mid January, stirring the cheetah and lion into a feeding frenzy. To top this off, there is no better time to encounter Africa's more elusive species like the porcupine, aardwolf, meerkat and honey badger.
