Top Highlights
- Witness the majesty and wide-open landscapes of Botswana in the comfort of your own vehicle.
- A Mokoro ride in the Delta is an absolute "must-do" activity, even if it at first seems terrifying.
- Enjoy a superb birding experience in the Chobe, Makgadikgadi, Okavango Delta, and Africa's largest game reserve, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
- Take a river cruise or a boating safari and experience nature at its best.
- Fishing in Botswana is seasonal, and thus, always advisable to check for fishing season to avoid disappointments.
Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is one of the most exclusive wilderness destinations in the world. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the backdrop to wild Africa's grand spectacle, presenting unparalleled wildlife experiences in a serene inland delta unlike anywhere else on Earth. A journey to the Okavango Delta – deep inside Africa's pristine interior – is like no other, encompassing vast wetlands and expansive drylands.
Mokoro Rides
The Mokoro is a common type of canoe used to move around in the Okavango Delta's shallow waters. Oarsmen stand in the stern and push with a pole. A Mokoro ride in the Delta is an absolute "must-do" activity. The almost silent form of transport allows travellers to move through the waterways and get closer to wildlife than they would normally.
Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park covers approximately 11,700 Sq. km, encompassing floodplains, swamps and woodland with the breath-taking Chobe River forming the park’s northern boundary. The Chobe riverfront is most famous for the large herds of elephants and Cape Buffalo that converge on the riverbank to drink and on an afternoon game drive, you may see hundreds of elephants at one time.
