Tourism
The Prime Tourist Months are from April through to October – both the weather and game viewing are excellent. Animals are at their most visible around what water there is – the natural waterholes, dams & rivers. Prices are very high
Summer months from November to March is when the rains arrive and it’s hot between the thunderstorms.
The vegetation is a sea of green, wild flowers can be seen everywhere and all mammals and birds have their young. The bush is alive – Africa is at its most productive!
It’s a photographers paradise especially in the Kalahari where the large herds of animals have migrated to.
