Summer brings a different kind of energy to Botswana’s Linyanti region, especially for birders. Migrants arrive from across Africa, Europe, and Asia, joining resident species and transforming the landscape with colour and movement: broad-billed rollers, woodland kingfishers, yellow-billed kites, European bee-eaters, and cuckoos, to name a few.

A particular highlight is the return of southern carmine bee-eaters to their breeding grounds in the Linyanti.

For anyone who enjoys birding, photography or seeing Botswana in a greener season, Summer is a rewarding time to travel.

Several camps have been included in the 2026 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, including DumaTau, Mombo and Little Mombo in Botswana, Hoanib Skeleton Coast in Namibia and Usawa Serengeti in Tanzania.

It is always good to see independent recognition reinforce what we have experienced first-hand: extraordinary locations, distinctive camps and exceptional safari experiences.

“Thank you for an absolutely fantastic trip. Everything from the itinerary to the camps was amazing. Little Sable and Mbamba were both incredibly special, each offering a very different experience, and we loved them both.

We have already decided that we will be back within the next five years.”

Erin travelled with us in October 2026.

From January to March, the Serengeti becomes the stage for one of the Great Migration’s most remarkable chapters. As the herds move onto the southern short-grass plains, around 500,000 wildebeest calves are born within just a few weeks, with thousands arriving in a single day.

The landscape is green, the light is soft, and the plains are filled with newborns finding their feet. Predators are never far behind, making this one of the most dramatic and rewarding times of year for safari.

For travellers considering Tanzania, calving season is well worth planning around, and the most sought-after weeks tend to book early: https://lnkd.in/dBZHRqWk

Botswana in Green Season is a different safari. Lush landscapes. Dramatic summer skies. Newborn wildlife. Migratory birds. Fewer visitors.

For travellers looking at the festive season or early 2027, this is one of the most rewarding times to experience Botswana and often at better value than the peak winter months (June, July, August).

Namibia is extraordinary by day. At night, it becomes something else entirely.

At Wilderness Little Kulala near Sossusvlei, exceptionally dry desert air and almost no light pollution create remarkable conditions for stargazing and astrophotography.

The Milky Way stretches clearly across the desert sky, and at Little Kulala, you can even sleep out beneath it with your bed rolled onto the deck.

For photographers, stargazers or anyone who has never experienced true desert darkness, this adds an entirely different dimension to a Namibia safari.

Some feedback from guests who have just returned from the Delta.

“Back from a wonderful trip to Botswana. The accommodation was absolutely five-star, and the care and attitude of the lodge teams exceeded our expectations. The guides were experienced and covered the concession extensively.

As keen photographers, our expectations for wildlife sightings are always high, and this time the game was quieter than we had hoped, although seeing lions mating was a real highlight. That is also part of a safari. Nature remains unpredictable.

Thank you, Richard, for all your efforts and excellent service. We will definitely be in touch again for our next safari.”

Two camps. Two very different sides of Botswana.

This Green Season safari combines Meno a Kwena on the Boteti River with Expeditions Camp in the Okavango Delta, creating a journey from open seasonal landscapes to the waterways of the Delta.

From November onwards, the rains transform the country, bringing new growth, young animals, migratory birds and some of Botswana’s most interesting wildlife movement.

For travellers who want to experience Botswana beyond the traditional dry season, this is a compelling time to go.

Set within the 200,000-hectare Khwai Private Reserve in the Okavango Delta, Natural Selection Travel Tuludi has just seven spacious tree-house-style suites tucked beneath mature leadwood trees. Each has its own private plunge pool and wide views across the floodplains.

This is an exceptionally wildlife-rich part of Botswana, with elephant, buffalo and predators moving through the reserve. Days can include game drives, guided walks and, when water levels allow, boating and mokoro excursions.

Tuludi gets the balance right: a very high level of comfort without separating you from the reason you came to Botswana in the first place.
