When to go Botswana ?
Located in the southern hemisphere, Botswana's seasonal cycle is reversed in relation to Europe. Here, the southern winter, from April to October, corresponds to the dry season. This is the best time to discover the country! Temperatures are perfect for safaris, but plummet at night, especially in the Kalahari. So you'll need both light and warm clothing. As for the rainy season, it's the ideal time for birdwatching.
