Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

💡

Book luxury safari lodges 6-12 months in advance for peak season (July-October) — the best camps sell out completely

💡

Green season (November-April) offers 40-60% discounts on safari lodges and includes lush scenery and baby animals

💡

Check if lodge rates are per-person or per-room — most luxury safari lodges quote per-person all-inclusive rates

💡

Budget guesthouses in Gaborone can be booked 1-2 weeks ahead; Maun lodges fill faster, especially near the delta

💡

Ask about fly-camp and mobile safari combinations with lodges — staying 1 night at a premium camp and camping nights can dramatically reduce costs
