The Soul of the Delta
Glide silently through the shimmering floodplains of the Okavango Delta aboard a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe). Guided by a skilled poler, this serene water activity offers a peaceful connection with nature—no engines, no noise, just the gentle sound of water and birdsong. Nowhere else in Africa offers this unique and calming experience quite like Botswana.
Boat Cruises
Navigate the Lifeblood of the Delta
Explore the intricate web of Delta waterways on a relaxing boat cruise. Drift through narrow channels fringed with papyrus and watch elephants bathing, hippos surfacing, and kingfishers darting across the water. This is one of the most fulfilling ways to experience the aquatic beauty of the Okavango.
Game Drives
The Heartbeat of Every Safari
Set out on thrilling morning and afternoon game drives in open 4×4 safari vehicles, guided by seasoned trackers who understand the language of the bush. From lions to leopards, elephants to wild dogs, each drive holds the promise of unforgettable sightings.
Night drives are available in areas like Khwai, where off-road and after-dark safaris are permitted perfect for spotting elusive nocturnal species under the stars.
