Best Time to Visit:

May-October

Generally, the dry season, which runs from May to October, is considered the best time to visit as it offers the best wildlife viewing opportunities. During this time, the animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot on game drives and river cruises. June to August is also a great time to visit as the temperatures are cooler, making it more comfortable for activities during the day. September and October are the hottest months in Botswana but still great for wildlife viewing. If you’re interested in birdwatching, the wet season, from November to April, is the best time to visit Botswana. During this time, the migratory birds are present, and the lush green vegetation provides a beautiful backdrop for photography.
