Moremi Game Reserve Best Time To Visit
Anthony is the author of the Botswana & Namibia Lonely Planet guide.
Moremi Game Reserve can be visited throughout the year, but the best time for wildlife viewing is in the dry months, from July to October. The wet months, from January to March, are less ideal because some areas become inaccessible and some lodges close.
