Best Time to Visit
Botswana is a year-round safari destination, and the best time to visit really depends on what you’d like to experience. The dry winter months, from June to October, are ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals gather around permanent water sources and the Okavango Delta is in full flood—this is when game viewing is at its most reliable, though it is also the busiest and most expensive period. From December to March, the landscape transforms during the green season, bringing dramatic skies, newborn animals, and some of the best birdwatching in Southern Africa, with fewer visitors and more flexible pricing. April and May sit quietly in between and are often considered the sweet spot, offering comfortable weather, good wildlife sightings, and a more relaxed, unhurried safari experience.
