5 Things to do in Okavango Delta That You Shouldn't Miss

April 20, 2022 Brain Ambrose

The world's largest inland delta, Okavango Delta (also known as Okavango Swamp) is formed by the emptying of the Okavango River into the Kalahari Desert at the place where an ancient lake once sat. An immensely wildlife-rich expanse of islands, islets and lagoons (many of which change shape and even disappear with the coming of every annual flood season), Okavango is home to many safari camps, most of which aren't reached by road but rather by small airplane from Maun, the area's main village.

This game reserve is amazing, we stayed at two different camp sites on our holiday and found the wildlife encounters to be spectacular , close up to Leopards,Lions, Elephants, plus wonderful birdlife etc. One evening a male elephant strolled past our tents only a matter of 10 metres away, totally ignoring us as he walked past!

Khwai Concession

Reviewed By candmgoplaces - Kyoto, Japan

Visited with Sango safari camp in late December, and had some fantastic sightings including large groups of elephants, lions (including some that had climbed a tree which was pretty crazy), wild dogs, and an absolutely beautiful group of denning hyenas with their pups (easily 15+ of them). The denning hyenas have dug a spot right in the middle of the road so you're able to get really close to them (some of the pups were even gnawing on a tire of one of the trucks) and we've heard they're there pretty much every year (unless something gets really off with the weather one year) so they are really amazing to check out. The park is really green this time of year so would recommend a guide to support your spotting and also so they can coordinate with the guides from the other camps. The cars are able to go off-road here which helps as well in the rainy season so that you can get closer to the sightings when you do find them.

Khwai River Bridge

Reviewed By MrGrumpy76 - Cardiff, United Kingdom

My wife and I recently stayed 4 nights here . The accommodation is excellent with wonderful views over the river. From the large deck we had superb views of elephants , hippos and a wide variety of wonderful Birdline. The food was also excellent and the staff were all so very friendly and helpful . A huge thankyou to our guide , Richard , who was superb . He gave us so many exceptional wildlife sightings of elephants, lions , leopards as well as a fascinating pack of wild dogs . We also enjoyed the wonderful singing and dancing performed at the bomb evenings. Fantastic experience- we would love to return before too long .
