Why we love April and May in Botswana
"April and May are my secret favorite. So beautiful and still so quiet."
Nancy Vroon
Founder of Botswana Specialist
Welcome to the transition season! April and May in Botswana offer tranquility, lush green landscapes, and pleasant temperatures. The rains decrease, the air clears, and the Okavango slowly fills with fresh water. You’ll share the vast landscapes with just a few fellow travelers while the herds graze peacefully. An ideal time for your safari in Botswana, especially if you love exclusivity and experiencing nature at its purest.

Looking for tranquility and natural beauty?
The transition season in Botswana, April and May, offers the best of both worlds: greenery and open views, peace and wildlife. A unique safari experience for those who prefer to avoid the crowds (and the heat).
