Best Time to Visit Botswana
Botswana’s safari calendar revolves around water availability in the Okavango Delta and Chobe River:
May to August: Dry season brings peak wildlife concentrations at waterholes. Ideal for mokoro (dugout canoe) safaris in the Delta and big herds in Chobe.
September to October: Hot, arid conditions push animals to rivers and lagoons. Prime time for predator action and dramatic elephant gatherings.
November to April: Green season transforms the landscape with migratory birds, newborn animals, and lush scenery. Fewer tourists but some camps close.
