Travel Information

Planning your trip

Botswana is a year round wildlife destination and because of the location of the Desert & Delta Safaris’ lodges and camps, we make it easy for you to select and plan a safari to suit your needs. However, there are certain seasons that are more suitable for special interests than others.

November

The expectation - in fact - desperation for rain dominates all discussions - the residents and the animals all seek an end to the dryness and dust. Temperatures remain high both day and night and game viewing is excellent - until the day of the first rains - normally around mid November. The rains come, the animals relieved, disperse to eat on new vegetation and drink from the seasonal pans. The birthing season begins with the tsessebe, followed by impala and Lechwe. The predators seek out the vulnerable young and kill many times a day to get their fill. It is a time of action, great visibility and colour with big clusters of cloud, fresh sprouting grass and trees bursting into life - a wonderful time for the photographer.
