10 Days Okavango Delta Safari (Botswana)

Charter from Maun to a remote water camp in the deep delta — channels, lilies, lechwe and hippos from the moment you land. Camp welcome and lunch on the deck overlooking the floodplain.

Safari activity | Deep delta mokoro safari

Afternoon mokoro through remote channels — the quiet heart of the Okavango where polers navigate lily pads and hippo pools far from the main tourist routes.

Afternoon mokoro through remote channels. Sundowners as herds move to drink.

Flight: Maun–camp approx. 25–50 min
Meals: Lunch & dinner
Accommodation: Deep delta camp

Full mokoro and boat programme. Walking island safari with armed ranger. Sundowners on floodplain — fish eagles, malachite kingfishers and red lechwe in the golden hour.

Red lechwe splash through the shallows while African fish eagles call from dead trees along the channel. Camp guides coordinate mokoro, boat and drive times around the Okavango flood pulse and overnight predator reports from neighbouring concessions.

Elephant herds move to the water each afternoon along the Chobe riverfront — your guide positions the vehicle or boat for the best sight lines across the Sedudu Valley and Serondela terrace.

Moremi's mopane woodland and floodplain edges hold lion, leopard and wild dog; off-road driving on private concessions allows close predator sightings that public parks cannot offer.

Savuti's lion prides and hyena clans gather at the marsh waterhole at dusk — one of Botswana's most reliable predator concentrations when the channel flows.

Khwai community polers navigate the channel quietly, passing hippos and pied kingfishers while buffalo and giraffe graze the floodplain fringe.
