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.

April

The first signs that the times are a changing - night temperatures drop to below 20°C on average but day temperatures continue to rise up to 40°C on some days. Generally the temperatures are very pleasant. The cooler mornings with high relative humidity lead to wonderful early morning misty magic especially over water. The impala rut is in full swing and the impala noises continue right through the night with dramatic clashes between rival males. Baboon and impala are often seen together as the baboon act as sentries protecting the busy impala. The trees have completed flowering and fruit is ripening, with massive sausages hanging from the Sausage trees. Reptiles are actively breeding and feeding in anticipation of the dry season, which is about to start.
