Botswana
It is a litany of musical names, Kalahari, Okavango, Chobe, suggestive of something deeply magical, an Africa of Tarzan of the Apes. Ride a mokoro, a tiny dugout canoe, in the Okavango Delta, with expert boatmen. Check out the explosion of flamingo-pink as a million birds come to nest at the Makgadikgadi National Park. Hang with the fiercely proud bushmen of the Kalahari, or check out the planet’s largest elephants at Chobe National Park. Pitch a tent and sleep under that great African sky, and you may get a glimpse of what our planet must have been like before humans came along.

Peak Season Description:
The rains have stopped early May and the temperatures dip; crisp days and chilly nights continue till late August, when the mercury starts to rise again. Watering holes are drying up, bringing more and more thirsty game that are easy to spot. The Okavango Delta starts to fill up later in the season, making mokoro rides a delight.
Shoulder Season Description:
Hot dry days and cool nights. Game watching may be restricted in late afternoon, the hottest time of day. April is antelope rutting season, with aggressive displays of head-butting, and October/November is a time of birth, giving rise to predators picking off young ones.
Low Season Description:
Intermittent and violent thundershowers bring life and color to the grasslands. Birds abound, and robust young ones give predators a good run for their money; game watching still thrives with lower, more attractive rates at lodges and campsites.
