Activ­i­ties on the safari trip in Botswana

Typically, a safari day consists of an activity in the morning and an activity in the afternoon which allows guests to experience the African bush up close. During this safari trip you will discover the natural landscapes of the delta by driving in an open vehicle, walking safaris or mokoro tours and get closer to the unique flora and fauna in an incomparable way. Since the majority of animals shows is most active in the early morning hours, you also start your day out in the bush at sunrise. Together with your guide you will explore the impressive nature of this huge natural wonder and learn more about the biodiversity of the delta, the natural history of the region and the art of tracking.

Your safari trip will focus on three areas: Chief's Island, Moremi Third Bridge, and Magotho, located just outside Moremi Game Reserve. Everywhere you can expect unforgettable wildlife sightings, because the Big Five as well as numerous wild animals and an impressively rich bird world are living in the green depths of the Okavango Delta.

As soon as the midday heat sets in, you'll make your way back to camp and have a refreshing meal. After a siesta in the afternoon, you will go on an afternoon exploration tour into the wilderness. You usually return to the camp at sunset, but night drives can also be used to see nocturnal and otherwise rare wildlife.

Accom­mo­da­tion in Okavango Delta

During your 14-day safari adventure you will be accommodated in mobile camps set up in the three delta areas of Chief's Island, Moremi Third Bridge and Magotho. Here you stay in tents and use a typical "bush bathroom" which is equipped with a bucket shower and a long drop toilet.

Leisure time during the safari

After lunch at camp you can use the following siesta to relax until the second activity of the day which starts in the afternoon. After dinner there will be time for own activities, as well. Enjoying a cool drink at the campfire while reviewing the day is the typical way to end your day in the bush. On the morning of the seventh day of your safari trip you will also travel back to Maun for one night – the afternoon hours in the city can be arranged by you as you wish.

    1. Okavango Delta

    The Okavango Delta in Botswana is without doubt one of the most spectacular natural sites in Southern Africa, if not in the entire world. Covering more than 20,000 km², the fertile oasis in the northwestern part of the country is the largest inland delta of our planet. The mighty UNESCO World Heritage Site is fed by the Okavango River, which once a year floods down from the highlands of Angola into an endless labyrinth of river courses, islands and lagoons. With a visit to the Delta, one of the last natural paradises on earth awaits you, whose awe-inspiring biodiversity will amaze every visitor.
