Green Season

20/10/2016

0 Comments

 
The ‘green season’ is the rainy season in Zimbabwe, which runs from mid-November to April. The arrival of the rains transform the landscape - green is the 'in' colour, with the grasses coming to life, migrant birds arrive in droves, and most of the mammals have their babies.

The green season tends to have warm, sunny days with afternoon/evening showers that end as quickly as they begin. This time of year is often also referred to as a 'secret' season - fewer people visit, and rates are considerably lower, making for some great savings! 

•    Great Birding- Migratory birds are here and in full breeding plumage
•    Baby Mammals- this one needs no explanation
•    Substantial Savings- many lodges have reduced rates and waive single supplements
•    Victoria Falls is at its peak flow around April but the waters start rising in February
•    Photography- Dramatic cloud formations, soft light and vibrant foliage
•    Fewer Travellers mean you have the place and attentive staff to yourself
