Seasonal Savings
The Emerald Season - Go Green and Save Money
Every year we encourage our clients to visit Zambia in the 'Emerald Season'. The Emerald Season months are November - mid May, when the rains come in abundance and normally dry landscape turns green and lush. Many safari cognoscenti consider it the most and spectacular time of the year to visit places such as the Luangwe Valley. It is also excellent value as the rates are lowered significantly during the Emerald Season.
