Welcome to Paradise…
One of the most sought after wilderness destinations in the world, the Okavango Delta gives entrance to the spectacle of wild Africa. A paradise in its own right, these lush water ways and flood plains spanning an area of more than 20 000 square km in the middle of the Kalahari Basin is short of a miracle. A very unique ecosystem, and the largest intact inland delta in the world and one of the largest and most animal-rich wetlands of Africa.
The Wildlife
Game drives in the Okavango Delta are some of the most inspiring safari activities on offer as they traverse the most pristine wilderness in Africa, and the wildlife is as spectacular as the area is beautiful, with great herds and high predator populations.
Today, the Okavango remains as wild as it was when it formed. he swamps and floodplains have kept human development at bay, and the wildlife remains a wild as it was 10,000 years ago. More than 150,000 islands now punctuate the Delta, varying in size from several metres to larger than a big city.
Chiefs Island in the centre of the delta is the largest island; it’s like a great big time capsule, a snapshot of the Africa of old, with great herds of elephant lumbering across the plains and super prides of lions stalking the night.

Mokoro (Canoe) Safaris
2-Day Camping $395 • 3 Day Camping $590
Mokoro (plural Mekoro) is the Setswana name for ‘dug-out canoes’ typically built by the tribes of the Okavango and Chobe regions. We take you on this journey to learn a bit more about the culture here, explore the Okavango at a vantage point gliding on the clear waters of the Boro-Channel but more especially to just escape and get back into Nature. This tour is especially suitable for adventurous first timers who want to explore the Delta but are still intimidated by the thought of a full-on week long overlanding Safari excursion.

This tour takes us into the Moremi Game Reserve-part of the Delta, Khwai concession and the Xini area as well as the Xakanaxa where you will get to take boat cruises or mokoro rides in the Delta. The Glamping option is especially suitable for Families with Kids as it offers superior tents with en-suite showers and toilets among many other amenities unheard-of on a camping Safari e.g. potable kitchens, inflatable beds to mention a few. Please note that these prices are based on a min of 4 travellers per tour.
