When to go to Botswana

Botswana has a warm subtropical climate.
 
The best time to visit Botswana for game viewing is from April to August (the mild, dry winter). You can also visit in September and October, but it does get extremely hot in these months. The Okavango Delta is in full flood from July to October when prices are at their highest although, being a natural phenomenon, this timing can vary.
 
November to March is the rainy season, when prices are lower, but the Central Kalahari is at its best at this time of year.
 
Birding is best during the hot, wet summer from October to March, as this is when the migrants visit. It is also the birthing season, with the landscape lush and green.
 
Tiger Fishing on the Chobe River is best in June and July. In the Okavango Delta it is best in September and October, as this is when the barbels run.
