Safari in Season: Overnight (custom length)
Rainfall and temperature changes in the Kruger show her many different faces. Depending on her seasons in any particular year, the Kruger will change the sights, the sounds and the colours of her majestic beauty to enthral you each time you visit.
Our knowledge of the Kruger allows us to include a few obvious or most likely changes for you to ponder. One thing though - because climatic changes are very unpredictable in Southern Africa the seasons may change from year to year, and sightings of 'the big five' are certainly not dependent on the season you visit. You can choose the following seasonal experiences with Bearded Heron Safaris:
The bush has held out through the dry winter and longs for the first summer showers. Most of the Kruger's migratory birds have returned, bulbous plants and grasses splash colour across the plains soon after the first showers. The sounds of the Kruger are fantastic during this season.
Young animals are abundant, and with one year giving way to another, new plants, flowers, hatchling birds and young mammals provide exciting and entertaining game viewing opportunities.
These are the months of abundance. The plants are at their most nutritious, and the animals can rest in the knowledge that food is easy to come by. For the visitor pools from rain shower, and the park's rivers and streams as well as silhouetted trees against a sun setting behind rain clouds provide great photographic opportunities.
Cooler temperatures, the rain is over, and the Kruger trees and grasses begin to change colour. Animals blend in to their environment - impala rams prepare for the mating season and the migratory birds flex their wings for the journey to warmer homes. This is a great month for visitors wanting a cooler bushveld experience.
Kruger trees have lost their leaves. Water is scarce, and large concentrations of game are seen around watering holes. Lion sightings are more common now. This is the season of the dry and harsh African bush.
Temperatures start to rise. The days lengthen, and new buds and leaves start sprouting. It's a humid time in the bush and the early morning moisture glistens in the rising sun. This is the time of two seasons, winter has been difficult, summer is filled with promises of new life.
NB: The above safari is fully inclusive of all accommodation, transfers, meals, guiding, conservation fees and refreshments. |
