While one will see more animals close up in Chobe, and have more adventure and fun in Kruger, there is simply no place on earth like the Okavango Delta. It is serene and tranquil, remote and haunting, with more natural beauty than pictures or words can capture. Each day had a unique topography, as the water levels were changing. As... More

After driving through arid Namibia the delta was like stepping into another world, although both are great in their own way. The range of wildlife, from Elephants and Hippos down to tiny Malachite birds is terrific.

This is a wonderful place to visit, but you already know this that's why you are searching. We were originally put off by the large sums charged by the lodges, I'm sure they are wonderful but out of our league. If you stay at any of the hotels, lodges, guesthouses in Maun, they will be able to book you a... More

Get a flight on the Delta, it is absolutely worth it. We saw loads of game (elephants, giraffes, Hippos etc) and had a great pilot. It is a great way to see parts of the Delta where you wouldn't be able to get to by vehicle. More

Unfortunately we didn't see many animals, only zebra. We did a scenic flight the following day which had amazing views & we spotted plenty of animals but the aircraft... More
