Planning

Best time to fly

Peak season (content placeholder)

[Editable content: typically the driest months, when wildlife concentrates around water sources and flight demand is highest - book well ahead.]

Shoulder seasons (content placeholder)

[Editable content: fewer crowds, often better flight availability at short notice, with landscapes greener after rains.]

Low / green season (content placeholder)

[Editable content: lowest fares and lodge rates, some airstrips may see reduced flight frequency - confirm schedules directly with the operator.]

Specific dates, migration timing claims and weather figures are intentionally left as placeholders until confirmed content is supplied.
