When is the best time to go on safari in Botswana?
Typically, May to October is considered the best time to visit Botswana as the days are warm and dry, and the Okavango Delta is in full flood. November to April is the green season when the lush landscapes and birthing animals are the drawcards for travellers, despite the rains. This is also the time when visitor numbers and prices are lower. Note that some camps may close during the green season.
What is the accommodation like in Botswana?
Botswana is renowned for its range of luxurious, eco-sensitive lodges. Accommodation in Botswana offers an exclusive and intimate experience due to the low-density tourist areas.
What type of wildlife will I see in Botswana?
In Botswana, you can expect to see a range of wildlife including the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and African buffalo) as well as a variety of bird species. The Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park are particularly renowned for wildlife sightings. Learn more in our "Best Places to See Animals on Safari" travel guide.
Is Botswana or Kenya better for safari?
Both Botswana and Kenya offer unique safari experiences. Botswana is known for its exclusivity, intimate lodges, and water-based activities in the Okavango Delta, while Kenya boasts the famous Maasai Mara and the Great Wildebeest Migration. Delve into the details in our "Where to Go On Safari - Southern Africa vs East Africa” blog.
How much does a safari in Botswana cost?
How much your Botswana safari costs depends on where you go, when you go, and where you stay. However, it is important to remember Botswana is one of the most premium priced safari destinations in Africa. Learn more in our "How Much Does an African Safari Cost" travel guide.
How many days do you need for Botswana safari?
How long you choose to go on safari depends on the kind of experience you want to have. If you have the time and are contemplating exploring more than one wildlife area, we recommend allocating a minimum of three days to each area. This ensures you can immerse yourself in the richness of the wildlife and make the most of the camp facilities. Additionally, it provides some valuable downtime between adventures for a more relaxed and fulfilling experience.
Are there mosquitos in Botswana?
Yes there are mosquitos in Botswana especially, during the rainy season (November to April). It's advisable to take precautions like using repellent and sleeping under mosquito nets.
