Save up to 40% when you book during the Green Season
There are a number of preconceptions about when is the best time to visit the Okavango Delta. We’ve written up a number of different points to consider about when really is the best time to visit the Okavango. However, by and large, many international companies try and dissuade guests from visiting the Okavango Delta during Green Season, which runs from December through to mid April. However, the Green Season can often be one of the best times to visit. Not only are there are a number of specials available, often with savings of over 40%, but everything about the Green Season is attractive.
Speak to a travel consultant from Botswana
My name is Tumie and I come from Botswana. I have been arranging safaris into the Okavango for over ten years, and I have often been puzzled why so many guests prefer to avoid the green season. It is an absolutely magical time of the year to visit the Okavango Delta, it’s far cheaper, and if I were to choose my favourite time of year, this would be it. I know the best lodges to visit and how to get the best deals. Interested in planning a safari over green season, or just need some advice around how to make one work? Feel free to contact me.
Botswana's Best-Kept Secret: The Green Season
Fewer crowds, dramatic skies, and wildlife at its most active, the green season delivers an experience that rivals any time of year, at a fraction of the price.
- Temperatures are comfortable, October’s dry heat is far harsher than any green season day, and short afternoon storms (typically 30 minutes) cool things down and leave the bush electric with life
- Wildlife viewing is as good, often better, species like impala give birth during this period, drawing lions, leopards and wild dogs in concentrated numbers
- The annual zebra migration happens in the green season, one of Botswana’s great wildlife spectacles
- Thicker foliage rarely hinders sightings, most game remains highly visible and predictable
- Significantly reduced tourist numbers mean more exclusive, unhurried experiences at the camps
- Exceptional discounts available across our partner lodges and operators
