Okavango remains Botswana’s flagship wetland safari destination with world-class wildlife viewing and high-value low-impact experiences.
Glide silently through crystal-clear channels in a traditional dugout canoe guided by expert polers - passing hippos, crocodiles, and elephants bathing just metres away.
The Okavango has one of Africa's highest concentrations of endangered African wild dogs. Tracking these elusive painted predators is a highlight of any safari here.
Guided island walks bring you face to face with the Delta's smaller wonders - tracking elephants on foot, identifying medicinal plants, and understanding the ecosystem from ground level.
May to October (dry season) for best wildlife viewing as animals concentrate around water. June-August for peak flood and mokoro experiences. Green season (Nov-Apr) for birding and baby animals.
Fly to Maun (MUB) or Kasane, then light aircraft transfer to your camp's airstrip. International connections via Johannesburg. Botswana offers visa-free entry for many nationalities.
Mombo Camp (Wilderness Safaris) is often called "the place of plenty." &Beyond Sandibe, Ker & Downey's Shinde Camp, and Great Plains' Duba Plains offer alternative luxury. Budget: Maun self-drive camps.
