The best times to visit Botswana
Botswana is an excellent year-round safari destination offering exceptional game viewing in the prime wildlife regions. It is generally accepted that the best game viewing occurs in the dry winter months, from June to August, as this is when game tends to congregate around permanent water (rivers, waterholes, dams, etc). This is also the peak season for the Okavango Delta flood - the annual inundation that sees water levels rise more than a metre thanks to seasonal rains in the Angolan highlands. The days are warm and sunny and the early mornings and evenings cool to chilly.
The emerald season coincides with the summer rains and offers outstanding birding thanks to the arrival of summer migrant species as well as great game viewing due to all of the major herbivores giving birth. The days are hot and sunny, with occasional thunderstorms. Humidity levels are higher during the emerald season.
Spring - September to November
Summer - December to February
Autumn - March to May
Winter - June to August
