Picture this: A pure river bursts out of wild highlands & then meanders lazily through an African wilderness. Finally, it spills into a 6,000 square mile maze of lagoons, channels & islands. This is the Okavango Delta, Africa’s premier wildlife destination.
Experience Known as “the river that never finds the sea,” Botswana’s Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world.
This pristine wilderness area - teeming with wildlife - is a spectacular sight that should be on everyone’s bucket list!
The Okavango Delta is a year-round safari destination where you can come eye-to-eye with some of Africa’s fiercest creatures.
Activities Because it is a freshwater wetland, the Okavango Delta offers guests both land & water activities.
Experience the vast open plains on open 4x4 game drive, always accompanied by a qualified ranger. Walking safaris are also available in some areas, so be prepared to leave footprints behind.
The real highlight of a trip to the Okavango Delta’s swamps is the mokoro trips – an activity unique to Botswana. These dug-out guided canoes will take you downstream to look for birds & aquatic antelope. It is great fun exploring the waterways of the Delta by honoring this local tradition.
Finish the day with a boat cruise, while sipping on a cool sundowner & watch the sunset.
When To Travel The Okavango Delta has 3 distinct safari seasons.
The best time to travel is during high season - between July & October - when the bush is dry & the channels of the Okavango Delta are full.
Shoulder season, which is from April to June & November, is also a great time to travel & rates are less expensive than during high season.
Green season is during the summer, between December to March, when Botswana receives rain, so the bush is lush & birdlife is amazing. During the rainy season, rates are at their lowest.
