When to Go

Dry Season (May–October): Peak safari season. Best wildlife sightings as animals congregate around water.

Green Season (November–April): Lush landscapes, migratory birds, and excellent photographic opportunities.

Delta Flooding: June to August—ideal for water-based safaris.


Why It Matters

The Okavango Delta’s annual flooding, a unique phenomenon occurring during the dry season, is a key highlight of Botswana’s natural beauty and a crucial factor in the region’s biodiversity, as it supports a diverse array of wildlife.
