A Natural Paradise in the Desert

Have you ever seen an oasis in the desert? The Okavango Delta is just that. Nestled in the Kalahari Desert, it’s a World Heritage Site.

In the truest sense, the Delta breathes life into the desert. There’s nothing quite like choosing an Okavango Delta Package and marveling at the many animal species that call this place home.

  • Wildlife Galore

You will see many animals in the delta, from plains game to unusual antelopes like the puku, sitatunga, and red lechwe.

Predators and rare bird species also find refuge here, making the delta a hotspot for nature lovers.

  • Serene Water Safaris

The water-based safaris stand out for their sublime serenity among the numerous Okavango Delta Tours.

Glide through the water in a traditional dugout canoe, witnessing birds, elephants, and shy antelope in their natural habitats.

  • Private Concessions

Okavango Delta Packages often include visits to private concessions for an unhurried and immersive safari experience. Expect low visitor numbers, few vehicles, and unspoiled game viewing.

Special Note: The Okavango Delta is one of the few places in Africa where you can experience the magic of a mokoro ride, traditional dugout canoes that offer a unique and tranquil way to explore the Delta.

Exceptional Okavango Delta Lodges

When you choose the best Okavango Delta Safaris, your trip includes fantastic accommodation. Okavango Delta Lodges comply with Botswana’s strict conservation rules.

  • The lodges in the delta are built creatively with timber and raised on stilts. This design handles changing water levels and provides stunning views of the Delta.
  • Some lodges have only three or four suites. It makes for a very private, peaceful setting.
  • The lodges may be eco-friendly but don’t skimp on luxury. Think 4-poster beds, outdoor bathtubs, private plunge pools, and even sky beds open to the stars.

Most Okavango Delta Lodges are designed to be environmentally friendly and can be dismantled within 24 hours. Thus, leaving no trace behind.
