Easier than you think; more fun than you could possibly imagine, a self-drive holiday is the best way to explore, experience and enjoy our special part of Southern Africa. This is what it’s all about.

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.
