Why we love October and November in Botswana
“Once water becomes scarce, the action begins. The season of excitement & thrills!”
Nancy Vroon
Founder of Botswana Specialist
Okay, October and November in Botswana are hot and dry, but also incredibly exciting, making them absolutely worth it! Water levels drop, the grass is low, and that means one thing: incredible wildlife viewing. Animals gather in large numbers around watering holes, making safaris intense, lively, and full of surprises. The water in the Delta is slowly decreasing, but still remains enchanting. This is the grand finale of the dry season: one of the best times to spot many types of wildlife!
Low vegetation, excellent visibility
Abundant wildlife near water sources
Dry and warm conditions
Still plenty of safari opportunities
Ready for action and big game encounters?
Yes, you’ll need to handle the heat, but also the thrill and excitement! The end of the dry season in Botswana is all about action, focus, and unforgettable encounters. Want to see a lot of wildlife in a short time? This is your moment.
