Exploration of the Okavango Delta

Exploring the Okavango Delta is one of the most magical experiences in all of African travel, a journey into one of the natural wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, deep in the heart of Botswana, the Okavango River defies the desert, spilling out into the Kalahari and flooding to create a shimmering maze of channels, lagoons and palm-fringed islands teeming with life. The signature way to explore is by mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe poled silently through the reed-lined waterways, bringing you close to the water and its wildlife in near-total stillness, broken only by birdsong and the splash of a hippo. Beyond the mokoro, you can glide through the channels by motorboat, set out on foot with expert guides for a walking safari, or take to the skies for a scenic flight that reveals the Delta's full, breathtaking scale. Home to elephants, hippos, big cats, wild dogs and spectacular birdlife, the Okavango offers a safari of rare intimacy and beauty, and one you will never forget.
