Why book a Safari in Low season
It has long been believed that the best time to visit is during the dry season in East Africa. Which lasts from the end of June until the end of October. This is based on the idea that when parks dry out, plants get smaller and animals congregate near water features, making the wildlife more apparent and confined. However, Abunda Discoveries Uganda would usually suggest traveling outside of this season for a variety of reasons. Which will still provide you with an amazing experience. Why book a Safari in Low season
You’ll make savings
Safari holidays are notoriously expensive! Traveling during shoulder seasons actually lowers the cost, even though they won’t be inexpensive even if you go during off-peak hours. The majority of East African camps have peak season rates from July to August. And outside travel at this time can result in significant savings. Except for the Christmas season, when prices are at their highest. You can get some great bargains and still see some amazing animals if you consider traveling in January, February, March, or even October, November. During off seasons in southern Tanzania, a number of our best East African lodges are providing amazing discounts that will cut your safari expenses in half.
You will still be able to see wildlife
All right, so the greatest time to see animals in East Africa is officially during the dry season. But in any case, safaris are notoriously unpredictable. There are times when you might go on safari expecting to see a lot and other times when you can just go to appreciate the African wilderness. And witness everything from the rarest bird to the most spectacular predator action.
Another breathtaking sight in East Africa is the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti. If you go between December and March. You might be able to see the calving season, which is an incredible experience. In East Africa, you are more likely to witness a lot of juvenile animals of different sizes and forms. After the long rains from March to June and the short rains in November, the bird life is also truly breathtaking.
The surrounds are fascinating and beautiful
The typical image of an East African safari is of the acacia-dotted, arid, rolling plains, which would be a true representation during the driest part of the year. There are typically more dramatic wildlife activities and fewer weeds. But one of the best times to visit the bush is during the green season. The lush paradises that are barren and sterile during the dry season are stunning and teeming with life. In the mornings, the sound of little bushes rustling makes a truly dramatic soundtrack. And at sunset, when the sky explodes into vibrant colors through the towering clouds, there is no better moment for photographers to travel to East Africa.
Avert crowds
Like anywhere else in the world, the most tourists are drawn to a country during its busiest season. Consider traveling in October if you want to avoid the crowds but aren’t concerned about price cuts. In this manner, you can skip the school breaks while still taking in the momentous conclusion of East Africa’s dry season. If you are an avid safari enthusiast and have previously seen all the creatures on your list. You should go during the green season. During the green season, East Africa offers the wildest and most unexplored safari experience.
Depending on where you are, you could not see another automobile all day, which is somewhat disheartening. No place is more enchanted and off the beaten path than East Africa during the green season. So if you’re interested in safari, you definitely want to go away from it all and experience the wild. The further into the wet season you go, the less people there are. When traveling during the rainy season, you may occasionally become stuck in the mud. But we view that as an inherent part of the safari experience.
Avoid crowded areas and high prices by traveling just outside of the busiest season. But stay far enough away from the wet months to ensure the ideal weather! The “shoulder season,” which lasts from the end of June to October in most parks, is frequently regarded as the best time to visit. By the end of June, the parks are particularly lovely and the plants are thick.
