Kasane in September
Great time to visit
September offers excellent wildlife viewing as the dry season peaks, but temperatures start climbing toward uncomfortable levels. It's still prime time, just with more sweat involved.
Weather
September cranks up the heat as spring arrives, with afternoons getting genuinely hot again. Mornings stay pleasant and cool, perfect for early game drives. The air remains bone dry, and dust storms become more common as winds pick up.

All Months
May through October is prime time. The dry season means animals concentrate around the Chobe River, creating incredible viewing opportunities. July and August see massive elephant herds - we're talking 500+ animals at a time coming down to drink. But it's also peak season, so expect higher prices and more tourists. September and October get seriously hot - 40°C days aren't uncommon - but the wildlife viewing is phenomenal. November through April is wet season. The landscape turns green and beautiful, but animals disperse inland where there's water everywhere. Many camps close, and those that stay open offer big discounts. If you can handle some rain and fewer animals, it's actually quite lovely. Just know that some roads become impassable.
