Although February is a wet season, that doesn’t mean there is nothing to do or see.
The rainy season gives way to the calving season, which means you can see newborn animals and other big-game animals, such as elephants.
This month, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is still one of the best places to go on a safari at this time of year, and Victoria Falls is considered best seen between January and February since the waterfall is at its most dramatic.
Indulge in a birding safari and capture some unique species of birds as migratory birds are present, and this means you get to see abundant birds in the park.
Since the scenery is lush and green, it is the best time to go on a photographic safari and capture exceptional images!
