Highlights
Safari
One of the very best wildlife spotting destinations in Botswana and beyond, the Okavango Delta houses large concentrations of animals on both a permanent and seasonal basis. A myriad of species can be spotted on game drives across the delta – including elephant, hippo, lechwe, wildebeest, giraffe, crocodile, lion, cheetah, leopard, black and white rhinoceros and much, much more. The delta is also home to a huge density of endangered African wild dog.
Mokoro Canoeing
Get closer to nature on a guided glide through the reeds of the Okavango Delta in a traditional dugout canoe known as a mokoro. An expert ‘poler’ guides the vessels silently through the waterways and channels, allowing you to sit back, admire the scenery and spot the delta's wealth of birdlife. To experience a gloriously quiet and calm side to this inland oasis, head out as dawn breaks, navigating a network of water channels as they reflect the morning light. Pass by lions, leopards and Nile crocodiles stalking among the reeds.
Helicopter Flights
Take to the skies for an aerial perspective of the Okavango Delta, looking out for herds of elephant and lechwe splashing through the water below. From the air, the unique and raw beauty of the delta becomes even clearer, comprising a patchwork landscape of islands, plains and lagoons.
