Best Times to Visit Botswana
Finding the best time to visit means balancing climate conditions with crowds and the most attractive prices for travel and on-site costs.
Climatically, the period from late April to late September is generally the best choice, despite the quite cold nights that can be uncomfortable when camping. That said, mid-June to August is also the peak tourist season. In short, late April to early June and September offer the best compromise.
