When to travel

The season changes what you see.

May – Oct

Dry season

Peak safari: floodwater fills the Delta, animals crowd the rivers and thinning cover makes for outstanding game viewing.

Nov – Apr

Green season

Summer rains bring newborns, migrant birds and big skies; the Kalahari and pans come alive and rates drop sharply.
