When to Travel

Botswana’s climate is typical of southern Africa with long dry spells and warm temperatures ideal for safari for much of the year. November to April brings the rains andmuch-needed relief to the dry landscape. Crowds are less, and prices cheaper, at this time of year.

 

WILDLIFE, LANDSCAPES, WETLANDS

Nearly a fifth of Botswana’s landscape is devoted to the protection of its indigenous wildlife. Brimming with life and colour, it boasts some of the Earth’s most unforgiving habitats as well as its most luscious wetlands. Expect to be awed by the big game and flocks of birds who make the Delta their home.

Meet Aisling Bull, Regional Specialist for Botswana

 Aisling
"Botswana is best known for canoeing along its shallow waters of the Okavango Delta where you see giant lily pads with tiny green frogs clinging to the reeds, vibrant bee-eaters and kingfishers flitting along the riverbanks and huge noisy flocks of roosting birds at dusk. Track wildlife in the wide-open savannahs while clinging tightly as your driver spots a predator on the horizon, fly–camp at night, dine alfresco under the stars and watch herds of elephants as they walk across the plains. Botswana gives a unique African safari experience. It’s exciting, remote and at night-time the stars are brilliant, there’s not a sound to be heard….."
