May to October is a popular time to visit the Okavango Delta, with dry-season conditions supporting rewarding wildlife viewing. Seasonal floodwaters often expand during the middle of the year, but mokoro and boating availability depend on the camp’s location and actual water levels rather than your travel dates alone.
Answered by the Fair Trade Safaris team · Last reviewed
The Delta’s seasonal flooding and local rainfall follow different patterns, creating varied conditions across the region.
Choose your camp according to the experiences you want:
Green-season travel can offer lush scenery and rewarding birdwatching. Dry-season travel is popular for wildlife viewing.
Confirm the activities available at your specific camp for your dates, especially if a mokoro excursion is a priority.
