Botswana and Namibia Tours & Trips
Africa doesn't get much wilder. Victoria Falls pounds so hard you can hear it from miles away, the Okavango Delta's waterways wind through wilderness you won't believe, and the Chobe River's teeming with elephants. Paddle through channels where hippos lurk, climb Dune 45 as the sun comes up, spot massive herds in Savuti, watch the light change over Fish River Canyon. Truly amazing.

Best time to visit Botswana and Namibia
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter safaris through Namibia and Botswana run between 18 and 23 days, giving you perfect timing for game viewing at Etosha National Park during dry season. Our travelers love watching lions, elephants, zebras and other wildlife gather at lit-up waterholes in the evening hours. These longer routes blend camping beneath winter's clear skies with strategic lodge stays, taking you through the Okavango Delta's channels by mokoro canoe and along the Chobe River to see the planet's biggest elephant herds. Many tours start your day climbing Dune 45 for that crisp winter light, before heading out to track desert-adapted elephants through Damaraland. The 19-21 day journeys prove particularly well-balanced, with scheduled wildlife watching, village visits to Himba communities and also walks with San guides. Winter's mild temperatures make it ideal for scaling Sossusvlei's rust-colored dunes and discovering Spitzkoppe's dramatic rock formations, while nearly guaranteeing wildlife sightings as animals cluster around the remaining water sources.

The longer 19-21 day journeys through these countries prove most popular in summer, making the most of ideal conditions. Wildlife viewing peaks from September through November, when animals gather around Etosha's waterholes and game sightings become nearly guaranteed. Safari vehicles set out during the cooler morning and evening hours, perfect timing for climbing Sossusvlei's red dunes and exploring Spitzkoppe's dramatic formations. Our travelers especially appreciate transitioning from active game drives to peaceful sundowners beside floodlit waterholes. The Okavango Delta truly shines in this season - mokoro canoe rides through clear channels bring you close to hippos, crocodiles and countless birds. Autumn timing works perfectly for Chobe National Park, where large elephant herds congregate along riverbanks. We keep our groups intimate at 12-16 people and use elevated safari vehicles with generous windows that photographers appreciate. Most guests choose our mixed accommodation packages that blend camping with lodges, giving them authentic experiences and comfort in key locations.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
September through November really hits the sweet spot for touring both countries. The dry season in Etosha National Park works in our favor - the animals gather around waterholes, making wildlife spotting practically guaranteed. You'll find it's just right temperature-wise for climbing those rusty-colored dunes at Sossusvlei and exploring Spitzkoppe's rock formations. Our clients particularly love how the evenings unfold, moving from active game drives to relaxed sundowners near the lit-up waterholes. The Okavango Delta stays are a highlight this time of year. You'll glide through clear water channels in traditional mokoro canoes, getting close-up views of hippos, crocs and hundreds of bird species. The camping is excellent too - there's something special about drifting off to sleep while elephants and antelope wander past your unfenced campsite. Our guides have perfected the art of positioning vehicles just right for those delta sunset shots everyone wants to capture. The autumn timing works well for Chobe National Park, where big elephant herds congregate along the river. We mix it up with morning wildlife drives and afternoon boat trips. When you head up to Victoria Falls, the water levels are just right - good for both seeing the falls and trying out activities like rafting or river cruises. Our travelers often mention how much they enjoy the balance between wildlife watching and cultural experiences such as walking with San Bushmen or visiting local villages. The most popular autumn tours run for 19-21 days, giving proper time to both countries. We use safari vehicles with elevated seats and big windows that photographers love. Groups stay small at 12-16 people, which means we can stop whenever interesting wildlife appears. You can choose between camping, lodges or our mixed trips that combine both - though most of our clients go for the mixed option since it offers the best of both worlds at key locations.

+1 844 311 8331What our customers ask about Botswana and Namibia Tours & Trips
How Do You Get Around Botswana and Namibia?
Well you've got two main options - self-drive or guided tours and honestly it comes down to what you're comfortable with. If you're confident handling 4x4s on rough terrain and don't mind figuring out border crossings then self-drive gives you amazing freedom to explore hidden spots like Solitaire or Cape Cross Seal Colony at your own pace. But if you're new to the region guided tours are fantastic - our customers love guides like Manache and Vailet who really know their stuff and handle all the logistics. The Namibia Nomad tour is really popular with people who want to do their own thing.
What Local Cultural Experiences Can You Have?
There's some incredible opportunities to connect with local communities here. In Ghanzi Botswana you can spend time with San Bushmen learning their ancient hunting techniques and even their unique clicking language during bush walks - the Botswana Adventure tour with Intrepid is great for this. Up in Opuwo Namibia you can meet the Himba people and learn about their semi-nomadic way of life their amazing hairstyles and deep connection with their cattle. The 17 Days Trail Safari tour takes you there and it's a wonderful way to support these communities while getting real insight into the local culture.
How Do Seasons Affect Your Trip?
The seasons here make a huge difference to your experience. The wet season runs November to April bringing gorgeous green landscapes and tons of birds but some areas like the Okavango Delta can get flooded and harder to access. May to October is dry season and that's when you'll see lots of wildlife gathering around waterholes especially in Etosha National Park - it's pretty incredible actually. The Amazing Southern Africa tour includes a mokoro trip in the Okavango which is best in the dry season when water levels are just right.
What Natural Areas Can You Visit Beyond the Cities?
There's so much to explore out here beyond Etosha National Park. Damaraland is absolutely stunning with these dramatic rock formations ancient paintings and desert elephants - you can see it all on the Namibia Botswana and Falls tour. The Fish River Canyon is mind-blowing it's the second biggest canyon in the world with amazing hiking trails. And then there's the Okavango Delta which is just magical with its waterways best explored by mokoro or boat. Getting to these spots usually means 4x4s light aircraft or organized tours depending on what works for your schedule.
Can You Mix Luxury and Budget-Friendly Options?
You absolutely can and it's actually a great way to travel. Stay somewhere lovely like Gomoti River Lodge with their fantastic house tents and views then mix it up with camping at places like Sesriem Campsite near Sossusvlei. You can save money by self-catering some meals having amazing braais under the stars. Focus your budget on unique experiences like the San Bushmen walk near Dqae Qare San Lodge & Camp rather than fancy accommodation everywhere. Our Grand Southern Safari tour does this really well letting you choose between camping and lodge stays as you go.
