Seasonal safari sightings updates on what wildlife is possible to see when you join an African safari with Great Plains Conservation.
Every safari is different, and every day in the wild brings new possibilities.
The wildlife featured on this page represents the animals and experiences that can be seen, or may be seen seasonally, while on safari with Great Plains Conservation in Botswana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. Our sightings are drawn from real experiences in our camps, offering an authentic indication of the wildlife you may encounter during your stay.
Wildlife movements are naturally unpredictable, influenced by the seasons, weather, water, vegetation and many other factors. While some species may be encountered regularly, others are more seasonal or elusive. Sightings can never be guaranteed, and that unpredictability is part of what makes an African safari so special.
The images shared here are captured by our guides while out on safari with guests. They provide a genuine glimpse of the wildlife and experiences that may unfold when you travel with us, while helping you understand what you might expect at different times of the year.
Explore the sightings by destination and season, and discover the wildlife possibilities that could form part of your own Great Plains safari.
