Vacations For Africa

Autumn and winter are the best times to take Botswana vacations. This is between April and August when the animals gather by the water holes and the weather generally comfortable and predictable. As a result this is the busiest time of the year as droves of people visit the country. Thus it is advisable to make travel bookings in advance prior to your arrival.

Summer is not the best time for Botswana vacation as rain can fall for days on end ruining any safari plans. Gravel roads become muddy and the wildlife takes shelter and remains out of sight. Besides that, the intense summer heat can become quite overbearing depending on your personal preference.

Water is plentiful during the monsoon so animals don’t have to come to any particular area to drink. The months of December, January, February and March are even more difficult. The heavy rains during these months make the Chobe and Moremi national parks especially inaccessible. Moreover, most of the lodges are closed during this season.
