This is a lovely time of year to visit Botswana as it remains dry and hot during the day, with cooler evenings.

October is normally the hottest month in Botswana, so be prepared for high temperatures during the day, in the mid to high 30's, occasionally even hitting 40 degrees.

Safari in Botswana in October is great as it makes for great game viewing given the lack of water and thinner bush, but early mornings remain cold, with temperatures climbing steadily towards the high twenties during the day.

The annual flood of the Okavango Delta starts to recede again now.
