11 Day Explore the Delta & Victoria Falls (Camping)

Day 1 - 3: Okavango Delta, Botswana

Begin your unforgettable journey in the vibrant town of Maun, where your guide will meet you at the pre-arranged meeting point. Get ready to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and wildlife of Botswana.

You will be greeted by your polers with their dugout canoes (mokoro) once you have reached the edge of the Okavango Delta. Enjoy the spectacular scenery of this unique region while cruising along river channels and floodplains. A mokoro excursion and guided nature walk in the Okavango islands and floodplains and two nights’ camping on a small island with bush ablutions will be part of your three-day exploration of this beautiful area.

In the afternoon of the third day, you will have the option to take a 30-minute helicopter flight with doors removed, offering spectacular views. The rate will be determined by your guide. A USD cash payment is required for this experience, which must be booked during the safari. In addition to seeing large game animals, such as elephants, giraffes, and hippopotami, a flight over the Okavango gives you an eagle’s eye perspective of the area.

Please note: As the safari starts the morning of Day 1, you will need to pre-night in Maun and purchase drinks for your safari the day before your safari starts. Your pickup time will be pre-arranged and communicated directly with you at your accommodation the day prior.
