When to come — honestly
When to go
May – October
Best
Dry winter — the prime season. The Delta is in full flood, game concentrates at the water, mokoro safaris are at their best and the bush is sparse and rewarding.
November – April
Good
Green season — lush and dramatic, with calving, migrant birds, the Makgadikgadi zebra migration and lower rates, under afternoon storms and thicker cover.
April & November
Good
Shoulder months — a balance of receding or rising water, fewer guests and good game, in the changeover between flood and green.
