The grasslands are green, birth seasons begin and the plains are filled with adorable fawns, calves, cubs and foals creating opportunities to for predators to take on the action on the wildlife the spreads out on the fields.
For birders, migrant birds flock in to occupy the colorful residences in the countries and the season is phenomenal with sublime photography conditions.
High demand always causes increase in prices and vice vasa. Lodge and car hire rates are usually lower than the peak season. This puts put safari vacation dreams for most of the travellers in reach of their budgets. This also offer opportunity to have treats at some of the best luxury camps/lodges at the premium parks at slightly cheaper rates.

The low season usually is seasoned with down pours which are always brief and after the sun is bright because you are experiencing a tropical climate. The season offers a weather and temperature balance for a perfect safari/game viewing.
Don’t be drawn back because of the write ups about how the low/ green season is not favorable. Enjoy less crowded experiences, benefit from discounts, and watch the green fields filled with young wildlife.
