Maun in June
Great time to visit
June is peak tourist season with crystal-clear skies and cold nights. Wildlife concentrates around water sources while the delta reaches maximum flood levels, creating spectacular conditions despite premium prices.
Weather
June delivers Botswana's winter with clear, sunny days and cold nights that can drop near freezing. Daytime temperatures are perfect for outdoor activities, but you'll need serious warm clothes for early mornings and evenings. Zero rainfall and low humidity create ideal conditions.

All Months
May through October is peak season for good reason. The weather's dry, temperatures hover around 25°C during the day, and the Delta's at its fullest from seasonal floods. July and August bring the crowds and highest prices - book flights and lodges months ahead. But here's what most guides won't tell you: shoulder season has serious advantages. May offers incredible bird watching as migrants arrive, and September brings baby animals everywhere. The trade-off? Dust storms in September can ground scenic flights for days. November through April is wet season - some camps close, roads become impassable, and the humidity will test your patience. But the landscape transforms into something magical, prices drop by half, and you'll have the place mostly to yourself. Just pack serious rain gear and flexible plans.
