Introduction

About Okavango Delta

Encompassing seasonally flooded wetlands and grasslands in Botswana’s north, the Okavango Delta is a remarkable destination. Following the rains, its landscapes transform to create a wildlife oasis, which contrasts dramatically to the arid terrain of the Kalahari Desert.

 Sprawling across the east and central part of the Delta is the Moremi Game Reserve where you’ll find some of Africa’s most exclusive safari lodges. By day, you can spot lions and leopards during game drive safaris before getting up close to hippos, elephants and crocodiles while being slowly propelled through the waters by dug-out canoe. Aside from being a “Big 5” hotspot, the Okavango Delta is home to African wild dogs, making it a great place to observe these endangered creatures in their natural habitat. 

 Let our Botswana experts customise an Okavango Delta safari package, including your choice of luxury lodges and camps. Aside from walking and canoe safaris, you can incorporate a scenic flight to get a bird’s eye view of the delta’s spellbinding landscapes.
