Average weather and climate in Botswana

The best time to visit Botswana is during the winter months from April till August as the days are generally pleasant and the wildlife never wanders far from their water sources. Enjoy wildlife viewing or explore the Okavango, as prolonged rains may render sandy roads uncrossable, and animals disperse when water is abundant. Summer (December to April) isn't the best time to visit .
