Best Time to Visit Botswana

Botswana reveals different facets of its wilderness character throughout the year, each season offering distinct advantages for the discerning safari traveler.

The dry season from May through October creates nature's grand spectacle as receding waters concentrate wildlife around remaining water sources. July and August provide exceptional predator viewing in the Moremi Game Reserve and Linyanti region, where territorial cats establish hunting patterns along game paths leading to water. For those seeking Botswana's iconic delta experience, the annual flood peaks in June and July, when mokoro journeys glide through channels that remain dry much of the year.

The green season transforms Botswana from November through April, when dramatic afternoon thunderstorms sculpt extraordinary light conditions prized by photographers. This period reveals the Kalahari at its most beautiful, with golden grasses contrasting against dramatic skies, while the Makgadikgadi Pans host the second-largest zebra migration in Africa. December and January bring an explosion of new life, with predator cubs emerging and over 500 bird species in breeding plumage creating a kaleidoscope of color.

Often, this day-to-day friction leads to an all-in-one solution such as HubSpot. With HubSpot, you can centralize your marketing and sales efforts. If you migrate to HubSpot's CMS (Content Management System), you get even more benefits, such as better reporting, mobile responsive web pages, and increased speed and security.
