Wet Season — a good time to visit

  • The weather is characterised by high temperatures, relative humidity and a one in two chance of rain.

  • The birthing season provides high excitement as predators take advantage of the inexperienced newborns.

  • A wonderful time for photography, vegetation is lush and in bloom, migratory birds are present and in breeding plumage, the animals are all in prime condition.

  • Bush walks are a highlight during this period, showcasing the numerous overlooked animals of the ground and in the air.

  • Make sure the mosquito repellent is packed during this time of year.
