When to visit:


Historically, the best time to visit Moremi is during the dry season, from May to October, when animals gather around water sources and less vegetation makes wildlife easier to spot.

Late September and October are very hot and are best avoided for people not fond of extreme heat.

However, the wet season (November to April) remains fantastic for game viewing, with less tourists. The vibrant green colours add to the magnificent scenery and it is a great time for birdwatching, with migratory birds flocking to the area, and the lush landscapes providing stunning photographic opportunities.

Our favourite months for Moremi: April, May, November, early December
