AUGUST
"August is the height of the migration season and for good reason - the game viewing is exceptional, the weather is reliable and the energy in the bush is electric. Book early and secure your permits and let Africa do the rest"
WHERE TO GO IN AUGUST
Northern Tanzania
August in northern Tanzania is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth. Vast columns of wildebeest and zebra push northwards through the Serengeti, and the dramatic Mara River crossings; where thousands of animals launch themselves into crocodile-filled waters in a breathtaking leap of instinct; are happening with breathtaking regularity. The dry season has arrived, the bush is open and the game viewing across the northern Serengeti is nothing short of extraordinary. If there is one month to be in Tanzania, this is it.
WHERE TO GO IN AUGUST
Zambia
August is one of Zambia’s finest months, with the dry season delivering exceptional game viewing across the country’s remarkable network of national parks and private concessions. In South Luangwa, leopard and lion patrol the banks of the Luangwa River as elephant and buffalo congregate in their thousands, while the Lower Zambezi offers the unique thrill of canoeing silently past hippos and crocodiles on one of Africa’s great waterways. Remote, unhurried and genuinely wild: Zambia in August is a safari experience that feels refreshingly far from the ordinary.
