The best time for a Botswana safari is May to October, when the weather is dry, wildlife gathers around water sources, and game viewing is at its best. November to April brings lush landscapes, migratory birds, and fewer visitors.

You may see elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wild dogs, and many antelope species.

Botswana is a popular safari destination, but visitors should follow their guide's safety instructions and local travel advice.

Pack light, comfortable clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, comfortable shoes, binoculars, and a camera.
