Top 5 Reasons to Go on Safari in the Off Season

Traditionally considered the low season, April, May, and June are typically a bit rainier and wetter, thus known as the ‘green season’. While in the past it has been considered an unfavorable time to safari due to the challenges with game viewing, the green season is considered by most safari aficionados as the best time to explore! Here is SkySafari’s top five reasons to head out in the wilderness during the slower months.

Little to no crowds which means fewer vehicles, National Parks and Conservancies are quieter and you often have the open savannah entirely to yourself.

A wonderful time to see younglings with lots of baby animals being born.
