Very often, when I mention the w0rd “wet season”, our many British guests shriek … they fear more of the grey and miserable weather they are trying to get away from. Fear not! Our wet season is the best time of the year. Lots of bloom, lots of colors, lots of lucious green and a true explosion of wildlife. And even if it is called “wet season”, truth is, we often go many days on end without any rain at all, sometimes weeks. Rain tends to be short-lived, and very strong. This is no boring drizzle days on end! It’s the sort of monsoon type rain that we need so much more of. Water is scarce here, and some years you are blessed, and some years are tough. Last year was a dry wet season, so nature suffered. This year, things are looking better, and we have had a few good rainfall events, so wildlife is doing well.
See some of our best shots over recent days, showing how all things are greening up. November saw a lot of offspring being born, and this contiues into December. Fingers crossed for a lot more rain to come this summer season. It’s great for nature, and it produces the sort of wildlife sightings that our guests travel around half the world to witness. Truly spectacular!
