Botswana

The best time to visit Botswana is during the dry season, from May to October. This period offers optimal wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. The cooler temperatures and lower humidity also enhance the comfort of your safari experience. The Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park are particularly rewarding during these months, with clear skies and abundant game.

Zimbabwe

For Zimbabwe, the dry season from May to October is ideal.
