Okavango vacations & tours
When you’re deep in the Okavango Delta, you’ll never guess that you’re in a desert. This enormous oasis, formed from the flooding waters of the Okavango River, is right by the Kalahari. It’s a wonderful watery world, where much of Africa’s great safari wildlife finds sustenance and shelter.
On our Okavango Delta vacations, you get a front row seat into life lived among reedbeds and rivers. Go by dugout mokoro canoe steered by ‘polers’ from the local community, bushwalk with community guides, and stay in locally-run lodges: whether you try a low-impact camping safari, an eco-lodge or a lodge with its own resident herd of giraffes, we ensure your visit benefits communities and nature.

Where to go in the Okavango Delta
Maun is the gateway to the Okavango. Fly in via South Africa before driving several hours to your safari camp or lodge, or take a scenic flight in a light aircraft. In the delta, safari vehicles, mokoro canoes and bushwalks are the only way of getting around, with longer boat journeys common along the deep Panhandle. Most tours then follow migration routes out across the Linyanti floodplains to the magnificent Chobe National Park – famed for its enormous elephant herds and luxurious lodges. Flying is the most common way to travel, but overland adventures – camping along the way – offer lower prices and bigger adventures. Read our Okavango Delta highlights for more information.

Chobe National Park
1. Chobe National Park
Up to 50,000 elephants live in Chobe – Botswana’s first national park. An enormous transfrontier park spanning five nations enables the migration of these huge herds, and gives Chobe one of the greatest concentrations of game in Africa. Rivers, marshland, savannah and hardwood forests all offer different ecosystems, supporting leopard, hippo, hyena, giraffe and zebra, amongst others.
Kasane
2. Kasane
Tucked into the border with Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia, Kasane is the gateway to both Chobe National Park – and Victoria Falls. You’re an easy drive from the wilderness and wildlife of Chobe here, but the town itself is no wilderness; however, an abundance of hotels, lodges and campsites make it appealing to travelers on a budget, and happy to take day trips into the park. There are also a number of banks and ATMs.
Moremi Game Reserve
3. Moremi Game Reserve
Moremi protects a tapestry of islands, swamps, forests, grasslands and channels – an unspoiled ecosystem providing a glimpse of the African wilderness at its best. It was the first reserve in Botswana to be established by locals, who fought back against expanding farms and uncontrolled hunting. The Big Five can be seen here, along with 400 bird species – look out for lions stalking buffalo in the reeds.
Panhandle
4. Panhandle
The Panhandle is a deep, wide river stretching 75km south from Mohembo, which channels the vast quantities of water into the Delta’s floodplains. The Panhandle is a fishing mecca, with tiger fish being the most popular catch – but the birdlife is equally as abundant, including rare skimmers plus egrets and kingfishers.
Savuti & Linyanti
5. Savuti & Linyanti
Between the delta and Chobe NP, the Savuti Marsh is famed for its large predators. Big cats are especially bold here; lions have been observed hunting adult elephants – a thrilling sight. Huge herds of wildebeest and zebra migrate here during the annual flooding of the Savuti River, along with 450 species of birds. The remote Linyanti Reserve is less visited, and remains one of northern Botswana’s wildest landscapes.
Tsodilo Hills
6. Tsodilo Hills
The sacred Tsodilo Hills, now a UNESCO site, offers a rare slice of ancient Kalahari culture. Huge rocks stand sentry over the surrounding flat landscape, containing some 4,000 examples of rock art; many are thousands of years old, preserved by the parched desert air. Standard itineraries rarely reach this remote spot, but it can be requested as an add-on – a guided tour reveals the rocks’ spiritual secrets.

Absolutely excellent. Don't hesitate, just go. Fantastic trip - excellent itinerary highlight after highlight with the most memorable parts: camping in the Okavango Delta - with ensuite chemical toilet (which was great, especially when elephants were around us very peacefully in the night). Tented accommodation, Elephant Pools Camp by the Moremi game reserve, exclusively for our group in a fantastic set up and with outstanding food and service, I wouldn't have dreamed of in the bush - great wildlife...read more
