Local insights on accommodation

When choosing accommodation in Botswana, consider the season of your visit. During the dry winter months from May to October, wildlife viewing is exceptional, making lodges near popular national parks like Chobe or Moremi ideal choices. In contrast, the wet summer season from November to April offers lush landscapes and birding opportunities, so staying near the Okavango Delta could be a great option. Additionally, look for accommodations that support sustainable tourism practices to contribute positively to Botswana's conservation efforts.
