The Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a stunning oasis in the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Known for its intricate network of waterways, lush vegetation and abundant wildlife, the Delta offers a one-of-a-kind safari experience. Glide through the channels on a traditional mokoro, spot lion stalking prey, and marvel at the diverse birdlife that makes the Okavango one of Africa's greatest treasures.

What to do here
The experiences worth building your days around, all of which we run ourselves or with guides we have worked with for years.
Game drives

Moremi Game ReserveScenic flights
Soar above the Delta for a bird's-eye view of the vast wetlands and the wildlife moving below.
20 to 40 minutesIsland walks
Land on a palm island and walk it, the only way to understand how these islands are formed and then enlarged over time.
Half day
Best time to visit
The best time to visit is during the flood season, May to October, when water levels are high and mokoro travel is possible. That happens to overlap with Botswana's dry season, so the game viewing is at its strongest at the same time.
