The perfect tailor-made Okavango Delta safari
The Okavango Delta is the world’s largest inland delta, and houses a diverse range of wildlife in its many ecosystems
The Okavango Delta is the crown jewel of Botswana safari holidays - a vast inland wetland where crystal-clear channels, floodplains, and lagoons provide sanctuary to extraordinary wildlife. Fed by seasonal rains from Angola, the Delta fans out across the Kalahari sands, creating one of Africa’s most dynamic and beautiful safari destinations.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site supports an exceptional diversity of species, from elephant herds and hippos to leopards, painted wolves, and over 400 species of birds. Wildlife is most concentrated during the annual flood (typically May to October), when animals are drawn to the Delta’s life-giving waters.
A safari in the Okavango Delta is defined by its variety of experiences. Glide silently through the reeds in a traditional mokoro, explore hidden islands on foot, or venture out on expertly guided game drives. Helicopter flights and boat safaris offer new perspectives over this shifting mosaic of water and land.
The delta has been split into numerous private concessions, which are leased and managed by safari operators, all of whom adhere to strict environmental standards, ensuring the region remains unspoiled and exclusive. As these concessions are considered private land, many lodges and camps can offer bush walks and night drives on a luxury Okavango Delta holiday, which would not be available in a national park.
