And yet... And yet, in Botswana, as in many regions, the rainy season means renewal and abundance. Heavy or violent rainfall can of course cause damage and bring its share of problems. But travelling during this season is far from a deterrent — quite the opposite. In Botswana, it's during the rainy season that you'll find flowering landscapes and lush, green vegetation. The bush is never as alive as during these few weeks. Migratory birds return in far greater numbers than during the austral winter. It's also the birthing season for many herbivores, particularly impalas, whose calving coincides with the start of this period of plenty.
