Climate & Weather
The park has a warm climate and a distinct wet and dry season. The average maximum temperature in June (mid winter) is 25°C (77°F) and minimum is 7°C (45°F)
The dry season runs from May to September every year. The wet season is from October to April with the highest average rainfall of 131mm (5.2 in) occurring in January.

The wildlife migrates throughout the park depending on the rainfall and grazing available so wildlife sightings are good all year round.
It's best to visit the Chobe Riverfront during the dry season but during the wet season the animals disperse to the southern areas of the park.
