Botswana Travel Guide

Best Time to visit  Botswana

The best time for a Safari In Botswana is in the dry season (from May to October). During this season the animals are gathered around the water holes. But, many visitors still visit in the rainy season (from January to April). Because many destinations like the Savuti concession and the Kalahari offer amazing game viewing (due to the migrating animals).
