Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Impalila Island?
The best time to go to Impalila Island is during the dry season, from May to October, when wildlife viewing is at its peak and the weather is generally pleasant.

During these months, the floodplains recede, concentrating animals around the permanent water sources of the Chobe River and Zambezi River, which are easily accessible from Impalila Island. This makes it an excellent time for game drives and boat safaris, offering prime opportunities to see elephants, buffalo, and various antelope species, as well as a wide array of birdlife. The days are typically sunny and warm, with cooler evenings, making for comfortable outdoor activities.

This period is particularly well-suited for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. The clearer skies and less dense vegetation provide unobstructed views, enhancing the safari experience significantly. The lack of rain also means fewer mosquitoes, adding to the comfort of your stay.
