Home to Okavango Delta, the yearly flooding of the basin allows the area to replenish its rich resources of lush grass that attracts wildlife and brings new life to the region. To experience the peak of the floodwaters in the Delta, the best time to visit would be between June and September. The weather during these months is ideal, there is a very slight chance of rain with the days warm and the evenings slightly cooler. Peak season is between July and October, keep this in mind when booking as this is also the busiest and most expensive time, so book early to avoid any disappointments.
