| Region - Okavango Delta |
Okavango Delta, Botswana
The channels, lagoons and islands of the world’s largest inland water system support an incredible selection of wildlife and bird species. Fed by floodwater from the Angolan highlands in June, it fans out into a shifting web of waterways and soaks away into the Kalahari Desert in the south. The water levels vary in this vast wilderness which means that your safari experience is always changing.
Staying at more than one lodge is a great idea to combine activities for a varied safari. Some lodges, like those in the north, offer water activities such as canoeing in the traditional wooden dug out canoes called mokoro; while other lodges in the south offer land-based activities such as walking and game drives. All are excellent.

These are lodges in the Okavango Delta that have access to land areas where game drives and walking safaris are the main activities.

| Combining the Delta |
|
You haven't travelled all the way to Africa just to see the Okavango Delta, but where else can you go? The spectacular thundering waters of the Victoria Falls, the largest curtain of water in the world, are a great stopover for a few nights of luxury and a variety of activities. Or visit the Savuti Game Reserve with its dry, unforgiving landscape and large herds of elephant as a contrast to the wet Okavango Delta.
