The basics

Why, when, and where.

Why

The Okavango Delta is an iconic safari destination in northern Botswana, boasting one of the largest inland river deltas in the world. Encompassing a maze of sparkling lagoons, meandering channels and islands teeming with wildlife, the Delta is best explored by mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), boat, guided nature walks and game drives.

Located in the heart of the wilderness is Moremi Game Reserve, a sanctuary to over 500 bird species and a high concentration of plains game that attracts several predators. When visiting, it is quite common to encounter lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, wildebeests, and various antelopes.

The Okavango Delta is an exclusive safari destination offering luxury and tented accommodation options and an unforgettable safari experience all year round.

When

The cooler, drier winter months from May to October are excellent for game viewing, as herds of animals converge on dwindling water sources and vegetation thins. Days are warm; nights can be cold, especially in the Kalahari. This is also the period when floodwaters reach the Delta, making for excellent water-based activities such as boating and mokoro rides.

The hot, wet summer months from November to March are good for bird watching when migrants abound. Although game viewing is more challenging, these months draw fewer crowds and have plenty to offer. Many reserves are at their most beautiful, as the vegetation is lush and green, providing an ideal background for wildlife photography. This is also the animalsโ€™ calving season, so itโ€™s the perfect time to see gambolling babies.
