Best Time to Visit
If you are planning a road trip to Botswana, the best time to visit is during the dry season from May to October. During this season, the grass is low, which allows you to spot the wildlife more easily. However, be sure to make provisions for cold evenings and mornings.
A summer visit from November to April may be a little too hot for comfort. Most of the country receives its rainfall from December and February, this will affect certain areas that are otherwise good for 4×4 adventures.
Where To Stay in Gaborone
As the capital city of Botswana, Gaborone has plenty of accommodation options such as hotels, lodges, and backpackers.
Getting Around
Most roads in Botswana travel through subsistence farming areas and wilderness areas. That’s why exploring the country by road using a 4×4 is the best option. This also gives you the option of going off-road, and if you have a tent, it also broadens the scope of your Botswana vacation.
What to Pack for Your Trip
- Make sure you don’t forget any of the necessary paperwork and make spare copies of your documents.
- Pack waterproof clothing, especially if you’re visiting the Okavango Delta region.
- Unfortunately, Botswana is a malaria zone, so malaria medication and a strong mosquito repellent are advisable.
