When is the best time to visit Botswana?
Botswana enjoys its dry season from May to September and, generally speaking, this is the best time for safari experiences as you’ll find the highest concentration of wildlife gathering around waterholes and in the wetlands of the flooded delta.
A wonderfully varied expanse of densely populated wetlands, lagoons, brush and savannah, Botswana is regarded as one of the finest safari destinations in all of Africa. Witness the stunning Big Five in their natural habitat, spanning an incredibly diverse and untouched wildnerness just begging to be explored.
