Choosing the Ideal Time for Your Botswana Self-Drive Safari
- Best Time: The dry season from May to October is the ideal period for a self-drive safari, as animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. The weather is cooler, and the wildlife is more active during these months.
- Green Season: From November to April, the wet season brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists, offering a more tranquil safari experience. This is also a great time for birdwatching, with many migratory species passing through.
- Weather Considerations: Botswana’s climate varies by region. While the Okavango Delta offers cooler mornings and evenings, the Kalahari Desert can experience extreme heat, especially in the summer months. It’s important to plan accordingly and pack for the different climate zones.

- Chobe National Park: Known for its huge elephant population, Chobe is one of the best places for a self-drive safari. Its riverside location offers remarkable game-viewing opportunities, with chances to see elephants, lions, buffaloes, and more.
- Kalahari Desert: The vast and striking beauty of the Kalahari Desert is perfect for the self-drive enthusiast seeking solitude and adventure. Experience game drives in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, and spot desert-adapted wildlife such as springboks and meerkats.
