Okavango Delta
Overview
Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is a watery wilderness area filled to the margin with a range of wildlife species. Few places on the planet offer an exceptional combination of landscapes, wildlife, remote islands, waterways, and untouched wilderness. The swamps of the Okavango are created by the annual flooding of the Okavango River. This opens up a large life-giving haven in the desert regions of Botswana.
The delta can be explored in a 4WD Safari vehicle, on foot, or the waters in a Mokoro (a traditional dug-out canoe). It doesn’t matter which way you choose to explore the Okavango Delta, a safari here will be filled with a dreamland of forests, swamps, plains, and waterways.
Okavango Delta is packed with a lot of uniqueness, that’s for sure! Here are some of the major takeaways of Safaris in the Okavango Delta.
- Outstanding game viewing opportunities – Including spotting the big five, especially on Chief’s Island.
