Why Book Your Zambia Safari Holiday in the Emerald Season?
Summer in Zambia is celebrated not only for its warmer temperatures and longer days but also for the increased rainfall that gives the bush its yearly fresh coat of vivid green ‘paint’. That’s why, if you visit Zambia’s national parks, like Kafue and South Luangwa during the months of November to April, you’ll understand why it’s called the Emerald Season. So, why is a Zambia safari holiday during the underrated green season so exciting? Let’s find out just three of the reasons, although there are many more!
The season of the baby boom
Be ready for a lot of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ during your Zambia safari holiday because this is the birthing season for elephants, zebra, impala and most other ungulates. The rains transform the brown, dusty bush into a green playground, ideal for baby animals to be raised in. There is plenty of luscious vegetation to munch on and water to drink – and for the baby elephants to splash around in – during the hot summer days.
