Local tip on timing

One thing I’ve learned living here is that timing your trips to popular spots in Botswana can make or break your experience. For example, the mokoro trips in Okavango are amazing but book out fast during the dry season when the Delta is low and animals are easier to spot. If you want to avoid the crowds yet still see plenty of wildlife, consider visiting right at the end of the high season in September or October. The weather’s warming up but the camps and tours tend to be less full. Also, early morning or late afternoon boat safaris on the Chobe River tend to offer both cooler weather and great light for photography, plus fewer people on board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are common questions about the best-selling Botswana activities.

The Okavango Delta mokoro trips and game drives in Chobe and Moremi are the most booked safaris. Visitors favor these for wildlife viewing, especially in the dry season when animals gather around water.

It’s wise to book at least a few months in advance for peak times between May and September. Popular boat cruises and walking safaris sell out quickly during these months.

Boat safaris, particularly in the Okavango Delta and Chobe River, consistently rank among the best sellers, but land safaris remain very popular, especially in Moremi and Khwai areas.

Yes, walking safaris near Khwai and Moremi are a popular choice year-round. The dry season offers excellent wildlife sightings, though it’s essential to go with experienced guides.

Visitors often see elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of birds. The best-selling tours focus on areas with dense wildlife concentrations, especially near water sources.

Many of the top-booked safaris are family-friendly, especially paced game drives and boat cruises. Walking safaris might be less suitable for very young children.
