African Travel Inc.’s Special Offer For African Safaris This Fall and Winter

Discover the allure of Africa’s green season! African Travel Inc, the award-winning luxury safari outfitter, is offering a complimentary perk for guests to experience a lusher, less busy safari season. During this lush season, not only are crowds smaller, but guests can witness the season of new life, the transformation of dry landscapes into lush spaces and even the unforgettable zebra migration in Botswana, the second-largest animal migration route in Africa.

 

 

“Africa is a year-round destination, with each season offering its own unique charm and benefits. However, there's something truly special about the green season since it is the time when the wildlife is in its birthing season, making it a time of new life and a baby boom in the bush,” explains Sherwin Banda, President of African Travel, Inc.

 

“The green season is considered the continent’s best-kept secret, offering an amazing opportunity to stay longer and explore deeper since there are fewer crowds, allowing for a more intimate experience with Africa's wildlife,” he adds. 

 

From November to March, Botswana’s green season is a lush oasis thriving with the birthing of various species. One of the season's highlights is the mesmerizing zebra migration, where herds embark on two main routes, from the Okavango Delta to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and from the Chobe River floodplains to Nxai Pan National Park in search of fresh grazing grounds and water.
