Open all year
High Season – July, August, September & October
July & August are the coolest months and often very cold at night and early mornings, with warm pleasant days. The waterholes dry up and the game congregates along the river frontage. In September the temperatures soar to mid to late 30’s. Before the rains start the Chobe is tense with the crackle of dry bushveld as thousands of elephants and other game congregate on the flood plains.
Low Season - November, December January to March
When the first rains arrive the bushveld sighs with relief – the flush of new growth is welcome as the new generation of plains game are born. The migrant species of birds return and the Chobe comes alive with new life. The summer rains are predominantly localised afternoon thundershowers. Once the rains have established the game disperses away from the Chobe - the zebra return to the Savuti Marsh, the elephants to their seasonal grazing areas such to Zambia or Zimbabwe. But a few remain affording a fantastic safari any time of year.
Mid Season - April, May, June
The temperatures are pleasant, with warm days late 20’s (°C) and comfortable nights. It is dry with the last of the rains. The bush is dying back and the grass is turning golden brown. In June the temperatures start dropping particularly in the early morning and evenings.
The Chobe River usually floods in June when the rains from further upstream arrive in the Zambezi and push back up the Chobe.
