Savannah Landscape, Chobe National Park, Botwana (photo)

Authentic savannah landscape near the camp Savute Elephant Camp by Orient Express in Botswna in Chobe National Park . In Botswana the climate varies depending on the area. The country has relatively little elevation above sea level , barely significant and surrounded by much higher areas which favour the stagnation of high pressure , which in turn prevents the entry of moist winds landforms. Although located on the Tropic of Capricorn, Botswana has large thermal variations in summer: temperatures are high both day and night with a maximum of 40 and minimum of up to 28 º C. In the Kalahari, the thermometer may fall at dusk beyond the 0 ° C in June and July, in wetter sites, is used to frost . While in Zimbabwe and South Africa the rainy season takes place between October and April, Botswana it is very rare to begin before the end of November and terminates in February. The austral winter (May to August) is a good time to visit Botswana, because the days are usually mild and wild animals never stray far from water sources. Photographed in 2013
