If your goal is to experience Devil’s Pool, like us, then you will need to visit during low water levels. That is typically between mid August to January. If your goal is to experience the best game viewing, then it’s recommended to visit during the dry season when animals tend to congregate near water sources and the brush is lower. For us, we visited in early October, which was perfect for experiencing Devil’s Pool and for game viewing. One day, I’d like to go back and experience the area during a different season.

      @@dennisschnell we didn’t get to sand surf here (might be a little too steep 🤷🏼‍♀️ or the sand is too soft, not sure), but we did sand board when we went a little further north to Swakopmund. The sand there was a lot more compact, so that may be the difference.

      We absolutely loved our stay at Xugana! For me, I wasn't anticipating booking the helicopter safari. It was a spur of a moment decision. Looking back, that was an incredible memory and I would have regretted not reserving it. With that being said, if you're on the fence about it... book it, you won't regret it. In terms of activities, we had the opportunity to experience the mokoro excursion, motorized boat safari, and the guided bush walk. All of the activities are special in their own way. The mokoro excursion was unique to Botswana (and us) and therefore it left the biggest impression. The only activity we really made use of a binoculars was the guided bush walk. For safety reasons, we keep our distance from the animals. Lastly, one thing that stuck out to me was the bugs. Before the trip, there were some concerns about mosquitos, as such we came prepared by spraying our clothing with permethrin and we bought mosquito repellant bracelets. In any case, it turned out that either our preparation worked or it was far less of a concern because we really didn't experience any mosquitos. It's hard to say if it was due to the time of the year because when we visited it was early October.

      @@RicknJessAdventures Thank you for your detailed answer. Not sure about the helicopter flight at first but as the days come closer its sounds better and better. We have anti- mosquito spray. We also have malaria pills. Dont know if that is really something we need. Cant wait to be there. Sounds amazing. Almost time to go on adventure.

      Thank you so much for the comment. We truly appreciate it. When it comes to booking lodges/hotels, I tend to check a number of different websites. I like to check: Trip advisor, Expedia, Booking.com, and I always double check the lodge or hotel’s main website. Surprisingly, the main websites may have the lowest price. If not, if you’re booking directly, they may match the prices found on another website. For this specific booking, the best deal that I could find was at Booking.com. It should be noted that there was another couple that showed up at the lodge and got a fantastic deal. Rather than paying for an all inclusive rate, they just paid a low night rate and chose to pay for the activities they wanted to do. I didn’t even know that was an option.
