Emerald Season

01 May 2026/2027

Iconic Safari

10 DAYS 9 NIGHTS

Why the Emerald Season? While many travelers flock to Africa in the dry months, the Emerald Season (also known as the "Green Season") offers something truly extraordinary. The landscape comes alive with lush greenery, full watering holes, and an explosion of new life. This is when the savannah reveals  its most dramatic transformation, and wildlife encounters become even more magical. The air is fresh, the sunsets are magnificent,  and there are far fewer tourists. Imagine having Africas wild beauty almost entirely to yourself.


Picture this: Youve spent years enjoying the sophisticated luxury and serene landscapes of Palm Springs. Now, it's time to take that same appreciation for beauty and exclusivity to the next level – on an unforgettable African safari during the Emerald Season, a time when natures vibrant rebirth creates a rare, intimate, and awe inspiring experience. 


Exclusivity Meets Adventure This is not your ordinary vacation – it's a tailored, small-group safari designed for Palm Springs travelers who expect the very best. You ’ll stay in luxurious lodges and intimate tented camps that combine opulence with the raw beauty of the African bush. Each day offers new experiences: private game drives, up-close wildlife encounters, and behind-the-scenes access to conservation efforts. Imagine waking up to elephants drinking at the riverbank or lions lounging in the shade, all just beyond your veranda


Travel with Purpose – Make a Difference This safari is not just about experiencing the wild – it’about giving back. You 'll be partnering with local conservation organizations that are dedicated to protecting Africas iconic wildlife. From supporting anti-poaching initiatives to aiding community development projects, your journey will contribute to safeguarding the future of these ecosystems.
