When planning a safari to Botswana, the dry season, from April to October, is often recommended for its cooler weather and minimal rainfall, leading to higher concentrations of wildlife around permanent water sources like the Okavango and Chobe. However, the rainy season, also known as the green season, from November to March, has its own distinct charm. With a 30% drop in prices and fewer travelers, it offers a more budget-friendly and intimate experience. Let’s dive into the wonders of Botswana during its rainy season.

The rainy season in Botswana typically begins in November and lasts until March. This period is characterized by intermittent heavy showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoons and evenings.
