BOTSWANA The Okavango Delta |
 |
The Okavango is, without any doubt, the most widely known area in Botswana. Spread throughout an area of some 16000 square kilometers, at full flood, the Delta is an area of tranquil, lily covered lagoons and narrow channels hemmed in by papyrus reeds, and teeming with animal and bird life. A trip on a "Mokoro" is an unforgettable experience. |
 |
The best time to visit this beautiful area is from May
through to October, when the Okavango River floods the delta. December to February is the wet season and is not recommended. The Delta offers unparalleled opportunities for bird watching, game viewing, fishing (tiger and bream) and photography, being most famous for its bird life ( more than 350 species), and guides at |
|
 |
| the camps are good at providing bird watchers with
matchless encounters with Kingfishers, Fish Eagles, Pel's fishing owls, and bee-eaters. A game viewing trip, on a traditional dug-out canoe - the famous Mokoro - certainly will bring you in to close contact with buffalo, elephant, impala, kudu and many other animals. Such trips can be of any length, and vary from one to several day safaris. Adjacent to the Okavango, and about 100klm. North of Maun, and including all of Chief's Island, Moremi Game Reserve provides the very best game viewing of the Delta. One, two or three day safaris to the reserve, can be organized from Maun. |

Visitors to the Okavango will usually arrive by air in
Maun and flown to the Delta Camp of their choice on a light aircraft. Very few of these
camps can be reached by road and, where they can, it is normally impractical and time
consuming. |
