Best Time to Visit Botswana
The Okavango Delta is one of the only deltas that doesn’t flow into the ocean and its annual flooding occurs in the dry season. July is towards the beginning of the dry season when the delta is flooded. That means you can enjoy an authentic experience on your safari on mokoros (small boats that seat 1-2 people) and can take advantage of excellent wildlife spotting opportunities that the dry season brings with it. That makes The Okavango Delta is Botswana one of the best places to go in July.
Travel in Botswana
The mighty Zambezi River in Botswana is an essential destination on most tour itineraries. Taking a boat cruise along the Chobe River to spot elephants and hippos is a magical experience.
Some tours include a wild bush camp on the Makhadikhadi salt pans, and then travel out to the Okavango Delta, where local guides pole you along the channels of the Delta in our dug out canoes, as you enjoy an interactive wilderness experience.
In Moremi Game Reserve, there is the chance of some fantastic game spotting from our open 4WD vehicles.
The Savuti National Park is famous for its large prides of lion, and many animals come in to drink at the waterholes.
