African Travel Inc.'s Tribute to "Wild About Wildlife" Month

July marks "Wild About Wildlife" month, and African Travel, Inc. (ATI), the luxury safari outfitter, invites travelers to discover the allure of Africa’s green season. Unlike the peak travel times from May to October, the green season offers a more intimate wildlife experience with fewer crowds.

Botswana's Lush Oasis

From November to March, Botswana transforms into a lush oasis during its green season. Highlights include the zebra migration across the Okavango Delta and Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Our Platinum Botswana journey spans 11 days of luxury safari experiences, including game drives, bush walks, and water safaris. Guests explore the wildlife-rich Selinda Reserve and the desert landscapes of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. At Xigera Safari Lodge, part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, guests enjoy sustainability-focused luxury in locally handcrafted suites.

Tanzania's Wildlife Spectacle

In East Africa, Tanzania's green season brings life to the Serengeti with the Great Migration and newborn wildlife. Our nine-day Discover the Wonders of Tanzania safari immerses travelers in the magic of Tarangire National Park's elephant herds and the diverse Ngorongoro Crater. Serengeti National Park offers open vehicle game drives and optional hot air balloon rides for breathtaking aerial views of roaming animals.

Experience Africa's green season magic.

Green season is a reminder that the wildest trips are not always the ones with the biggest crowds — they are the ones where the place gets to be itself.
