REGION - OKAVANGO DELTA

Okavango Delta, Botswana

The real Africa – remote, exciting and wild. The Okavango Delta in Botswana is the world’s largest inland water system, supporting an unspoilt wildlife sanctuary.

The Okavango Delta is made up of channels and islands supporting a massive selection of animals. Through the seasons the water levels change revealing a natural wonderland. There is nothing like floating down the Okavango in a dug out canoe, watching the elephants frolicking in the water, meters from you.

Because the water levels vary, your safari experience is ever changing. Game drives, canoeing and walking safaris are offered at different lodges so combining different lodges is a great idea for a varied safari. The lodges in the northern Okavango tend to have water activities throughout the year, while the lodges in the southern Okavango offer mainly land based safari’s. In the popular Moremi, you will often have both water and land activities.

Southern Destinations are your Botswana specialists, so contact us for a personalised safari itinerary and professional assistance with the planning of your holiday.

At the camps in the Okavango Delta you will have the privilege of a tranquil mokoro ride up the river. This is your chance to get very close to the animals in a pristine environment. These canoe trips are what photographers live for!
