Zimbabwe

  • Peak of the rainy season, with Hwange transformed into a lush, emerald landscape.
  • Afternoon storms cool the air and create dramatic skies for photography.
  • Game disperses widely due to abundant water, but scenery is spectacular and fresh.
  • Excellent for birding, with migrants and breeding species active around pans and river edges.
  • Newborn antelope are common, making predator-prey interactions more dynamic.
