Feature Trip: 9 Day Kalahari Migration Safari - Small Group Mobile Camping from US$3275

Summer arrives in the Kalahari and with it the annual rain. Now the whole Desert changes and comes to life; the Impala drop their young, many migratory birds arrive and the vegetation turns to lush green. Great herds of Zebra, Wildebeest and Buffalo move from the Okavango Delta into the verdant Desert to feed on nutritious grasses and vegetation. These grazers are closely followed by large predators such as lions, and it is very likely that you will see big cats on this safari too.
Why choose the Summer Season?
- Rains usually consist of an afternoon thunder shower, a welcome cooling down after a long, dry day in the Desert
- Excellent for photography – much less dust and crystal-clear air
- Wonderful birding with migrant birds in breeding plumage
- The desert is green, beautiful and lush, and the skies are blue, dramatic afternoon skies with spectacular clouds and light
- Great value for money
- Much fewer people around – nothing like the busy East African migration
Come and experience the wonders of the Great Kalahari Migration with us this season! Contact Chris Boecker to join this very unusual trip.
