Travel tips
-
The best time to visit Botswana depends on the experiences you seek, but generally, the most favorable period is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. Here's why:
Wildlife Viewing: Dry season: From May to October, the vegetation is sparse, and water sources are limited, making it easier to spot wildlife congregating around rivers and waterholes. This is especially true in popular parks like Chobe and Moremi.
Weather: Dry season: The weather is generally sunny and dry, with cooler temperatures during the mornings and evenings. Daytime temperatures are pleasant, making outdoor activities comfortable.
Mokoro Excursions in the Okavango Delta: Dry season: During this time, the Okavango Delta experiences its flood season, with water levels rising and creating channels for mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions. This is a unique and picturesque way to explore the delta's waterways.
Birdwatching: Dry season: Botswana is home to a diverse bird population, and the dry season is an excellent time for birdwatching as many species are in breeding plumage and are easily spotted.
Safari Activities: Dry season: Game drives and walking safaris are more enjoyable during the dry season when the weather is pleasant, and animals are abundant. It's also the best time for night drives to spot nocturnal wildlife.
While the dry season is generally considered the best time to visit Botswana, it's worth noting that the shoulder seasons of April and November can also offer rewarding experiences with fewer tourists and lower prices. However, some areas may be inaccessible during the wetter months of December to March due to flooding. Ultimately, the best time to visit Botswana depends on your interests and preferences.
