<\/a><\/p>\nGreen season comes at a specific time in Africa \u2013 between or after the annual rains. It can vary from country to country, however, November, March, April & May are considered to be the green months.<\/p>\n
During this time the typical image of the dusty African plains does not exist and instead you are left with big green verdant spaces where life is thriving. Travelling in March your\u2019re almost guaranteed to see calves and cubs wherever you go as the animals take full advantage of the plentiful food. \u00a0However, since there is an abundance of water and food the game is spread out as opposed to when you go during the dryer months and the game have to continually return to the same watering holes. This means that it can be tougher to find the game you seek and may mean you spend longer searching for animals than actually watching them, that is unless you travel with the leading professionals who know where to look, like I did.<\/p>\n
My colleague, Meeta and I recently hosted a fam trip to Zimbabwe, Botswana and Kenya and we found numerous benefits to travelling in March \u201cThe Green Season\u201d.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwe<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n![\"Victoria](\"https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2.jpg\" "\\"Green")
<\/a><\/p>\nWe started in Zimbabwe, more specifically, Victoria Falls ,\u201cThe Smoke That Thunders\u201d. Here we were treated to witnessing the upper Zambezi with high water levels, meaning the Falls where in full flow, and it is when the Falls are in full flow that you can see the famous spray or the \u201csmoke\u201d at its impressive best. It is during this full flow more than at any other time that the Falls really earn their status as a natural wonder of the world. This amazing spectacle can be viewed from above on a helicopter tour, front on via a walking tour, or even from the comfort of your balcony from certain hotels, for example Ilala Lodge and Elephant Camp.<\/p>\n
Botswana<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Elephants](\"https:\/\/www.somak.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3.jpg\" "\\"Green")
<\/a><\/p>\nWe then travelled to Chobe in Botswana, a popular option for visitors to\u00a0Victoria Falls, it only took about 50 minutes. The border crossing was\u00a0quick and painless. Chobe is known for having larger herds of elephants\u00a0than any other national park in the world. On entering the national park\u00a0my first impression was how rich it looked due to the rains, it also\u00a0didn\u2019t take long to spot the famous residents, large and small. (We did\u00a0experience rain whilst we were here but it only lasted 10 minutes).<\/p>\n
