An Oasis of
Wildlife and Beauty
The Okavango Delta, a miraculous oasis in the heart of the Kalahari Desert, is Botswana’s premier safari destination and jewel, offering an unparalleled safari experience. Its vast, meandering waterways and lush islands, visible even from space, create a green Eden in the parched Kalahari basin and teem with an astonishing diversity of wildlife. The remarkable concentration and variety of wildlife sustained by the Delta make Okavango Delta safaris the pinnacle of wilderness experiences.
Okavango Delta safaris offer both land and water-based opportunities, providing intimate encounters with nature by mokoro (dugout canoe), on foot, or by 4×4. The verdant islands of the Delta, including the largest, Chief’s Island within the Moremi Game Reserve, offer excellent land-based game viewing, while the channels and waterways provide the option to explore by boat or traditional mokoro. Many of these islands are operated as private concessions, granting the lodges on them the rights to off-road driving, walking safaris, night game drives, and mokoro trips.
Explore this aquatic wonderland where adventure and serenity meet beneath the African sky, making every visit a foray into the heart of untouched Africa. Okavango Delta safaris truly transcend the ordinary, offering an unforgettable journey into one of Africa’s most productive wilderness areas.
