| | When
to Go Autumn and winter (April through August) are good times to visit Botswana,
as the days are generally pleasant and the wildlife never wanders far from water
sources. Bear in mind, however, that this is also the time of European, North
American and South African school holidays, so things can get a bit crowded. In
general, June, early July and mid to late September are the least crowded times
to visit. Summer
isn't the best time to hit the back roads, enjoy wildlife viewing or explore the
Okavango, as prolonged rains may render sandy roads uncrossable, and animals disperse
when water is abundant. From December to March it is very difficult to get around
Chobe and Moremi national parks due to heavy rains, and many lodges actually close.
