Get good value for your safari if you come in the rainy season – the perks are reduced rates, lush vegetation and plenty of water around, birds and insects. But it is humid and it is harder to see wildlife thanks to the growth of the flora. Peak season is the dry season so rates are higher, people are more and animal sightings are easier.
