Frequently Asked Questions:
When is the best time of year to go on a safari in Botswana?
The best time to visit Botswana for a safari is during the dry season (May to October). Wildlife gathers around waterholes and rivers, making animal sightings exceptional, especially in the Okavango Delta and Chobe. The green season (November to March) offers lush landscapes, dramatic skies, and fantastic birding—perfect for photographers and travelers seeking fewer crowds.
What are Botswana’s top safari destinations?
Botswana is home to some of Africa’s most iconic safari regions. The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a paradise for wildlife lovers, while Chobe National Park is known for its massive elephant herds. Add in the predator-rich Moremi Game Reserve and the vast Central Kalahari Game Reserve for a complete and unforgettable safari experience.
Can I do a walking safari in Botswana?
Yes! Walking safaris in Botswana are a unique way to experience the bush up close. Led by expert guides, these excursions teach you to read animal tracks, understand the ecosystem, and notice smaller wildlife details often missed from a vehicle. They’re ideal for adventurous travelers who want a deeper connection with nature.
How many days should I plan for a Botswana safari?
We recommend 7 to 10 days for a well-rounded Botswana safari. This gives you time to explore diverse ecosystems, enjoy both land- and water-based activities, and truly immerse yourself in the country’s wild beauty. Shorter trips are possible, but a full week or more ensures a richer and more relaxed experience.
Is Botswana ideal for a first safari?
Botswana is one of the best destinations for first-time safari travelers because of its exclusive camps, high-quality guiding, and low visitor numbers. With private concessions, excellent wildlife viewing, and a strong focus on conservation, it delivers an intimate, authentic African safari experience without the crowds often found elsewhere.
Can I combine a Botswana safari with Victoria Falls or other destinations?
Absolutely. Botswana safaris pair beautifully with a visit to Victoria Falls, just a short hop away, or with South Africa’s Cape Town for a mix of adventure and culture. Many itineraries are designed to include multiple destinations, giving you a seamless and diverse African travel experience.
