Botswana Okavango Delta Safari and Game Viewing

The Okavango Delta is the largest delta in Bostwana. The delta actually is a combine between labyrinth of lagoons, lakes and hidden channels covering an area ofover 17,000 square km and the largest inland delta in the world.

Okavango Delta is a great place for safari. It is one of the best safari place in Botswana besides Central Kalahari Game Reserve.


Travelers planning a safari to the Okavango should combine the Delta with another safari region, such as Chobe, which is a short hop away from Victoria Falls. Those wanting a break from the world should consider the Makgadikgadi Pans or Kalahari Desert - both places of rare beauty providing an escape into sacred solitude.

Getting to the Delta is easiest from Johannesburg, which has air links to Maun, the outback capital on the fringes of the Okavango. From there, it is a short hop by light aircraft to one of the lodges or camps in a private concession of the Okavango.

The Delta is absurdly rich in wildlife - the wetlands and seasonal swamps support a diverse range of animals concentrated in an area of lush vegetation and scenic beauty.

All lodges offer game viewing, whether from the comfort of a camp tree hide, a canoe trip, walking trail or a 4x4 vehicle, but the very best opportunities are afforded at the Delta's land-based camps where you have a greater area to explore.

2. Bird Watching



With over 500 recorded species in a wide range of habitats and with a variety of ways to see them, a birding trip to the Delta seldom disappoints.

The Delta's resident species are joined by intra African and Palaearctic migrants - the rain-filled pans, floodplains and thick green vegetation provide feeding and breeding opportunities for waders, wildfowl, crakes and rails, bee-eaters, orioles and cuckoos.
