When to Travel to Botswana

The best time to travel to Botswana largely depends on what you want to experience, as different seasons offer unique opportunities for wildlife viewing, outdoor activities, and cultural experiences.

High Season

May to October
  • This is considered the prime safari season in Botswana. During the dry months, animals congregate around water sources, making it easier to spot them, especially in national parks like Chobe and the Okavango Delta.
  • The temperatures are generally pleasant during the day, while nights can be cool, especially in the desert regions. Expect little to no rainfall.
  • This is the ideal time for game drives, boat safaris, and walking safaris. The wildlife is more active and visible, and the chances of seeing large herds of elephants and buffalo are higher.

Shoulder Season

April and November
  • April marks the transition from wet to dry season, while November transitions from dry to wet. Both months can be excellent for travel, offering a mix of wildlife activity and fewer crowds compared to peak season.
  • April may still experience some rainfall, but it begins to cool down, while November can be hot but often less humid.
  • These months can provide a balance between wildlife viewing opportunities and experiencing Botswana’s stunning natural scenery.

Why travel to Botswana

The Land of Wonders
Okavango

The Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta, one of the most extraordinary natural wonders of the world, is a vast inland delta in Botswana, known for its pristine beauty and rich biodiversity. Unlike typical river systems that flow into the sea, the Okavango River spreads into the heart of the Kalahari Desert, creating a lush, waterlogged paradise teeming with wildlife. The delta’s intricate network of waterways, lagoons, and islands sustains an array of species, including elephants, lions, hippos, leopards, and rare antelope like the sitatunga and lechwe.

Central Kalahari

Rich Cultural Heritage

Botswana's heritage is deeply rooted in its diverse ethnic traditions, history, and sense of national unity. The country is home to a variety of ethnic groups, with the Tswana people making up the majority, alongside other groups such as the Kalanga, Basarwa (San or Bushmen), and Herero. One of the pillars of Botswana's cultural identity is "Botho" (also known as Ubuntu), a philosophy centered on community, respect, and compassion, which plays a significant role in daily life. Traditional governance systems, like the Kgotla, a communal assembly where village members discuss and resolve issues, are still active today and reflect Botswana's democratic spirit.

Golfing Havens in Botswana

Golf in Botswana has been growing steadily, blending well with the country's natural beauty and burgeoning tourism industry. Although not as widely recognized as some of its African neighbours for golf, Botswana offers several excellent courses that provide both residents and visitors with enjoyable golfing experiences.

Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park Wildlife

Chobe National Park, located in northern Botswana, is one of Africa's premier wildlife destinations, offering a combination of exceptional biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and unique safari experiences. Chobe is renowned for its immense population of elephants, considered the largest concentration in the world. The park is home to over 120,000 elephants, with herds often seen in large numbers along the Chobe River, especially during the dry season when they come to drink and bathe.

Central Kalahari

Warm Hospitality and Local Cuisine

In Botswana, hospitality is part of everyday life, and guests are treated with the utmost respect. It’s common for visitors to be warmly greeted and invited to share meals or participate in community activities, especially in rural areas. The concept of Kgotla, where everyone has a voice, exemplifies this inclusive nature, and visitors are often welcomed to observe or participate in local gatherings.
