Whatever your desire, True Travel can deliver you a truly wonderful Botswana experience.
Travel into Botswana is most commonly via South Africa.
Unlike many of Africa’s other safari orientated destinations, Botswana remains a destination that can be visited throughout the year.
The summer rainy season a viable time to travel, thanks largely to how well the rains drain through the sands of the Kalahari Desert that covers much of the country. This, coupled with amazing wildlife viewing and prices that can be less than half of what they are in the drier winter months, it is an incredible time to visit for those that don’t mind the heat and some rain storms.
That said, the traditional dry season months are still incredibly popular and offer some of the finest game viewing anywhere in Africa.
