BOTSWANA

Botswana is approximately 581,730 sq/km, and has vast areas (nearly17%) set aside for responsible wildlife utilisation. It is a semi-arid land with an average annual rainfall in the mid east as high as 450mm but as low as 230mm in the Kalahari Desert. The rainy or green season is from November to March.

We have Trophy Elephant bulls available with our trusted operators resident in Botswana. Other species including buffalo and plains game are available in certain hunting blocks with more areas due to be allocated.

CLIMATE

Temperatures vary a great deal. March and April are warm, whilst May, June and July are usually cold (5 degrees Celcius) at night and mild to warm (23 degrees Celcius) during the day. August and September are warmer, but windy. Daytime temperatures during the green season can get extremely hot, reaching temperatures of well over 40 degrees Celcius.
