Is June July a good time for an African safari?. Planning 2 weeks only

I'm looking to take a safari in about march (or may) next year. The better half has Botswana in mind (I'm not entirely sure why). How does that rate compared to the other African countries?
Can anyone recommend a good company to organise it through? I'm looking for something fairly luxurious and comfortable (camping doesn't go down well!)
So much to see thanks all!!.
It is the beginnings of a pivot away from US/Canada.
What's January like in SA?
The tours seems very busy with 2 nights per camp
I don't know which tours you are referring to here, but bear in mind that two game drives per day (dawn & dusk - and the obligatory sundowner) is generally the main activity, while variety is something to treasure in Africa. My personal preference is to cover a lot of territory as I enjoy the landscape changes as well but YMMV.
Very nice TR JohnM. Thanks
Often the 2 nighters are 2night 1 day?. I'm more of a 3 nights 2 days kind of traveller.
Do you think there is much of a wildebeest migration late June? I understand it often depends on the rains
The trek to see our cousins in Rwanda - you mentioned some in the group did not have enough aerobic capacity.can you please relate the physical requirements to some activity closer to home? Bushwalking?
Personally I would not self drive the Kruger if you only have a short visit. You are fighting all the other tourists for sightings .
and you're confined to the roads..
