Botswana Migration Special
Green Season
6 or 9 nights
Jan – Mar 2020

Botswana Green Season

Green Season offers a different side of Africa, when breeding and hunting occurs amidst rich vegetation.
The green season is unquestionably the best time to visit as additional species migrate to the country to breed and nest. The lush foliage of the green season, contrasted with the stunningly blue African sky, creates a remarkable backdrop for photographers. And an afternoon storm may reward you with a rainbow or two streaking across the sky.
This is “off season” where crowds are few and prices low.

6 Night Migration Special 2020

3 nights at Migration Expeditions
3 nights at Khwai Bush Camp

Sit back and relax on morning or afternoon game drive in search of the famous Kalahari lions, the large elephant bulls or the Zebra Migration. Try your hand at new photographic techniques in this unique setting or take a half-day trip to the well known Baine’s Baobabs.

The Khwai area is without a doubt one of the most scenic areas in Botswana.
