Central Kalahari Game Reserve Travel Guide

When to Visit

When to Visit

If you ask us, there's never a wrong time to go on holiday, but if you are specifically travelling for best game viewing, to get the best photographs or to enjoy mostly sunny days then this guide will help you decide when you should travel.

Best Time to Visit Botswana

Best Time to Visit Botswana

Botswana is home to some of Africa's greatest game parks and where there are animals, the best time to travel is in the dry months. For Botswana that means travelling between the end of June and into the beginning of October. There's more though.

Best Time to Visit the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi Pan

Best Time to Visit the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi Pan

Though you can easily visit all year round, the best time to experience the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi Pans of Botswana is between November and April. It’s green and lush and welcomes the largest African animal migration.

Distances and Driving Times

Distances and Driving Times

Approximate driving distances and self-drive times for Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Victoria Falls. We add plenty of time to stop for photographs, markets and comfort breaks.

Flying Times Namibia & Botswana

Flying Times Namibia & Botswana

If we talk about a 'fly-in safari', we mean that you'll be taking to the skies and travelling by light aircraft transfers between your destinations. Get an idea of the distances between the major highlights in Namibia and Botswana.

Self-drive Africa

Self-drive Africa

Self-drive tours of South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls and Zambia present few challenges. Beyond the main routes and over the borders, things get adventurous. We’d even go as far as to say, this special part of southern Africa is ideal for self-drives.
