December is fully immersed in the green season, with Malawi’s landscapes turning lush and vibrant. The entire country feels utterly alive, saturated in brilliant colour. Due to the abundance of water and thick vegetation, this month isn’t an ideal time to visit Malawi on safari. Animals are dispersed and more challenging to find during game drives.
