The Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Botswana, is one of the world’s largest inland deltas and a unique safari destination. Its seasonal floodwaters create a lush oasis teeming with wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, hippos, and rare antelope species. Visitors can explore its waterways by mokoro (dugout canoe), enjoy game drives on its islands, or experience walking safaris. With its stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity, the Okavango Delta offers an unforgettable wilderness experience.
Months to Visit
Okavango Delta
Dry conditions make wildlife viewing spectacular, especially in the Okavango Delta and Chobe, as animals gather around remaining water sources. It’s the best time for safaris and scenic mokoro trips, but it’s also the busiest and most expensive period, with lodges booking up well in advance.
April and May offer cooler temperatures and good game viewing before the Delta floods, while November brings dramatic skies and the chance to see newborn animals. These months offer great value and fewer crowds, making them a smart choice for experienced travelers and photographers.

Botswana’s Green Season is hot and rainy, with lush landscapes and dramatic thunderstorms. Wildlife is more dispersed, but birding is superb and antelope calving attracts predators. While some areas may be inaccessible, it’s a peaceful time with great rates and quiet camps.
