The Okavango Delta is a one-of-a-kind wilderness oasis situated within the harsh Kalahari Desert.

This delicate ecosystem expands and retracts with the seasons, supporting an abundance of wildlife. Visitors can expect to see hippos, elephants, lions, buffalo, the elusive Sitatunga antelope, and prolific birdlife. Truly an incredible destination for wildlife viewing.
