Okavango Delta: Explore a Land of Mystery and Splendor

The Okavango Delta is undoubtedly one of the most striking regions in Botswana. Situated in the Kalahari Desert, it is easily accessible from Maun and covers an area of about 5,600 square miles. Okavango is composed of vast grass flats, low tree-covered ridges, and a widespread network of narrow waterways, when open into lagoons.

Surprisingly, the Okavango is not a delta at all, but rather an alluvial fan. Instead of discharging into a body of water as an authentic delta does, the Okavango’s channel filters into the sands of the Kalahari.

Why choose Okavango Delta for your honeymoon safari or Botswana family safari?

• For honeymooners, the Okavango provides a romantic backdrop too beautiful for words.
• Family-oriented activities are abundant in the Okavango.
• Observe crocodiles and hippos in their natural state, basking in the clear waters.
• Roaming the plains and treetops are exotic birds, elephants, zebras, buffalo, pangolin, sitatunga, red lechwe, wattled crane, and giraffes. All lend fantastic opportunities to observe Africa’s mystical nature.
• At Duba Plains, witness the incredible lion and buffalo interaction that National Geographic and Animal Planet come to film.

The Okavango delta offers year-round beauty and exceptional safari adventures. The best time for game viewing is during the months when vegetation has dried out, between May and October. Between November and April, migrant bird populations return.
