Botswana's Crown Jewel
THE OKAVANGO DELTA
The Okavango Delta is Botswana's crown jewel and one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. This vast inland delta, where the Okavango River fans out into the Kalahari Desert, is a lush oasis that teems with wildlife. The delta’s labyrinth of waterways, lagoons, and islands creates an extraordinary backdrop for safari experiences. It’s a haven for birdwatchers, with hundreds of species, including African fish eagles and malachite kingfishers, and is home to large populations of elephants, hippos, and predators like lions and leopards.
Visitors can explore the delta by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe), offering a peaceful and intimate way to experience the wildlife and scenery. Game drives and walking safaris through private concessions provide thrilling opportunities to spot the Big Five. Accommodations in the delta range from luxurious tented camps to remote lodges, each offering an exclusive, off-the-grid experience amidst nature.
