Local tip from Botswana

If you’re looking to save on activities in Botswana, try visiting local towns like Maun outside of the peak dry season. Around May to August, many operators offer extra spots or discounted excursions to attract visitors since the crowds aren’t as large. One handy suggestion is to pop into local tourism offices or smaller guesthouses,they often hear about last-minute deals on river safaris or walking tours that don’t get widely advertised online. It might seem tempting just to book everything upfront, but spending a day exploring and asking around in the town can reveal genuinely better offers and help you negotiate prices while getting a feel for the area.
