Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is Africa's last great wetland wilderness�a place where the Okavango River spreads across the Kalahari sands, creating an inland delta of extraordinary beauty and biodiversity. Each year, floodwaters from the Angolan highlands arrive to transform the dry season landscape into a watery wonderland.

Safari here is unlike anywhere else. Traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) excursions glide silently through papyrus-lined channels, parting lily pads as fish eagles call overhead. Elephants wade chest-deep through the shallows, hippos surface in lagoons, and red lechwe bound across floodplains in spectacular sprays of water.

The Delta's islands support remarkable predator concentrations. Lions have learned to hunt buffalo in the water, wild dogs den on palm-fringed islands, and leopards patrol the woodland edges. The interaction of water and wildlife creates photographic opportunities found nowhere else on Earth.

Accommodation ranges from intimate bush camps to world-renowned luxury lodges, many accessible only by light aircraft. This exclusivity ensures low visitor numbers and high-quality encounters. As the sun sets over channels gilded with golden light, the Okavango reveals why it is considered the crown jewel of African safari destinations.
