IMPORTANT SAFARI ACCOMMODATION NOTE: We are offering an Africa Easy choice of 4 or 5 star accommodation choices for this Best of Botswana Safari and Tour option. The touring in Cape Town, the Safari areas in Botswana as well as the touring at Victoria Falls, Livingstone are all the same - the difference between these 2 Safari options being the slightly more up-market option of the 5 star accommodations vs the 4 star accommodation choices. The 4 star option is listed first in the above followed by the 5 star accommodation option.
|
|
|
SEASONAL NOTE: December is sunny and warm in Cape Town and also High Season. In Botswana and Zambia, December is known as the 'Green Season' - there will be some rainfall while on Safari in Botswana and at Victoria Falls, it may also be humid and hot. It is a good time for game viewing with Botswana being green and lush making for healthy animals many of them with their young. There is also the possibility to see part of the Wildebeest and Zebra migration through the Savute Marsh region. |
