Frequently asked questions
About Botswana
Botswana, located in Southern Africa, is known for its vast wilderness areas which include the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The official currency is the Botswana Pula. The country is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including elephants, lions, and hippos. The people of Botswana are known for their warm hospitality and rich cultural traditions.
When to visit
The best time to visit Botswana is during the dry season from May to September when the weather is cooler and the wildlife is more concentrated around water sources. The wet season from November to March brings lush green landscapes and baby animals, but also heavy rainfall and high temperatures.
Getting around
Getting around Botswana is best done by flying between destinations, as the country has a limited road network. Domestic flights are available between major cities and safari lodges. Alternatively, guided tours and self-drive safaris are popular options for exploring the country.
Traveller tips
When visiting Botswana, be sure to pack light, breathable clothing for the hot weather and bring plenty of sunscreen and insect repellent. It's important to stay hydrated, especially during the dry season. Respect the wildlife and follow the guidance of your guides to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
