Botswana has
a long and dry winter period from May to December, January to April is
the wet season. Safaris in Botswana can be very sensitive to seasonal
changes depending upon what you'd like to see.
The
following are rough guidelines but we strongly recommend that you obtain
local advise during safari planning:
- Okavango Delta:
The
floods arrive at Mohembo in December with a peak between January and
March (sometimes as late as May). The flood in Maun usually reaches
its peak in July or August (sometimes as late as September). Best
game viewing is generally July to October. Some areas of the Delta
experience heavy winds during August and September and some of the
seasonal camps are closed during the wet season.
- Moremi: Good
all year but best during the dry months from May to October.
- Chobe: The
riverfront at Kasane and Linyanti is good all year - best from May
to October. The Savuti area is best from November to May - if the
Savuti channel floods or water remains in the Mababe Depression then
May to October is excellent. Mid-winter can be very cold and the
worst heat is encountered from September until the rains start.
- Kalahari:
During
winter, the days are hot (mid 30's) with night-time temperatures at
sub-zero. Summer temperatures are scorching.
