Best time to visit Botswana

The best time to enjoy this amazing country is during the dry season, from May to October, you can expect warm and sunny days (up to 3 °C 35) during this time, while the nights are chilly and cold. This is also the best time to view the spectacular waterways of the Okavango Delta since the water levels are the highest during this time of the year.
November to April, are considered low season, which only mean that it’s more likely to rain. If you do not mind the odd shower here and there, I would take advantage of the lower prices and the smaller crowd to enjoy this beautiful country. Rain is actually positive: the scenery is greener, the air is fresh and clean, the vegetation is healthier and richer, animals are thriving as they are not struggling to find water.
