This period is ideal for those looking to maximise their chances of seeing the 'Big Five' and other wildlife.Couples looking for a romantic getaway often find May and September particularly appealing. The weather is still pleasant, and it's just outside the busiest peak season, offering a slightly more private experience without compromising on excellent wildlife opportunities.For families, the June and July school holidays are popular, coinciding with excellent game viewing conditions.
