Weather

Kalahari has very hot semi-desert climate. May to August (winter) is generally regarded as the best time to visit, as the days are hot and dry although the evenings can get very cold with ground frost. November to March (summer) is extremely hot, with a scarce and erratic rainfall.

Remember the seasons are opposite to Europe.
