Okavango Delta

Landscape and wildlife

The Okavango Delta is a mosaic of waterways, marshes, lagoons and islands inhabited by a rich and diverse collection of animal, bird and plant life. Waters are crystal clear and are home to a variety of fishes.

Although the Okavango Delta has an outstanding population of big game including lions and elephants, its finest aspect is birds.

Getting there

You reach private camps and lodges by road and/or by air (using airstrips). Sometimes watercraft are used for the final leg.

Getting around

You explore the Okavango Delta by foot - or in a dugout canoe or small boat - or on a horse or elephant.
