FAQs

When is the best time to visit the Okavango Delta?
Toggle accordion

July to October for high water levels enabling mokoro trips and boat safaris throughout channels. May to October for excellent wildlife viewing as animals concentrate at permanent water. Each season offers unique experiences - wet season for birding and green landscapes, dry season for game viewing.

Is Botswana suitable for families with young children?
Toggle accordion

Yes. Select areas are malaria-free. Many camps welcome children with family suites, educational programmes, and flexible schedules. Chobe's abundant wildlife captivates all ages. Okavango mokoro rides provide gentle adventure. Your specialist recommends family-friendly properties matching your children's ages and interests.

What makes Botswana different from other safari destinations?
Toggle accordion

Low-density, high-value tourism policy limits visitor numbers ensuring exclusive experiences. No vehicle congestion at sightings. Private concessions allow walking safaris and off-road driving. Pristine wilderness remains largely untouched. Wildlife concentrations rival or exceed other African destinations while maintaining uncrowded authentic atmosphere.

Can I do mokoro safaris year-round?
Toggle accordion

Water levels determine mokoro availability. Peak season June to September offers best conditions throughout delta channels. Shoulder months May and October possible in certain areas. Summer months December to April see reduced water - some camps suspend mokoro activities. Your specialist advises based on travel dates and camp locations.

Do I need vaccinations for Botswana?
Toggle accordion

Yellow fever certificate required if arriving from endemic countries. Malaria prophylaxis recommended for Okavango, Chobe, and northern regions. Some southern areas including Makgadikgadi considered lower risk. Consult your doctor 6-8 weeks before travel for current requirements specific to your itinerary and medical history.
