Wildlife viewing in Mokolodi Nature Reserve is less affected by the seasons and rainfall pattern than other parks and reserves in Botswana. However, afternoon may be interrupted by rain in the Wet season (November to March). During these months a 4x4 vehicle will be necessary for self-drive safari visitors. The reserve sometimes closes for a few weeks between December and March.
