Essential Information for your Private Tour of Botswana

When Is the Best Time of Year for Botswana Vacations?

Generally, the dry months from June to October are the best time to visit Botswana. Animals tend to congregate around watering holes, offering easy viewing and an increased chance of witnessing a hunt in action. These months are also the best time to visit neighboring countries like Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa, allowing you to extend your safari throughout the continent.

What Should I Include for the Best Botswana Safari?

This depends on your interests. The Mokodoli Wildlife Park is conveniently located near Gaborone and is packed with cheetahs, giraffes, and more. If you want to see wild elephants, Chobe National Park is the best place to visit. Khama Rhino Sanctuary offers great rhino-spotting opportunities, while the Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the few places to see black-maned lions.

Are Vacations in Botswana Safe?

Our safari tours in Botswana are very safe, as we take every precaution. With expert local guides and 24/7 assistance during your travels, you can relax knowing that you’re in safe hands.

Some general safety tips: stay in safari vehicles at all times, listen to your tour guide, and bring bug repellent to avoid malaria risks. This travel guide offers some more useful safety tips provided by our experts.

What Parks Should I Visit During My Safari in Botswana?

The parks you visit depend on the things you want to do in Botswana, but there are definitely popular reserves every itinerary should include. These are Chobe National Park, Okavango Delta, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. We would also highly recommend adding Savunti and Linyanti to your safari for a truly authentic experience.
