Peak season:

Peak tourism season in Botswana runs from July through October, which is when the country receives little rain, making safaris the number one activity. If you plan on visiting Botswana during the peak season, ensure that you book your flight tickets and accommodation well in advance to avoid the risk of overpaying for late bookings.

Off season:

Botswana’s off tourism season, which runs from January through March, might be one of the best times to book a cheap flight since the rains and increased humidity thin out the crowds. Traveling to Botswana during the off-season also means that flight prices and accommodation rates might be lower than they are during the peak season.

It has the extraordinary wildlife, it has the endless miles of Kalahari Desert, and it has all the appeal one wants to see in a world-class safari destination. Botswana might be just a hop, skip, and a jump away from South Africa, but it’s just far enough to make you feel like you’ve escaped from home soil. With all its stunning scenery and authentic African culture on display, Botswana might well be where you’ll end up wanting to stay!
