Game Viewing

The Okavango Delta is arguably the finest wilderness wetland in the world; renowned as a haven for rare species such as the elusive sitatunga antelope and the Pel's fishing owl, the Delta is also a bird-watchers paradise. Camp Okavango is the ideal base from which to discover the secrets of this incredible wetland ecosystem.

Botswana's magnificent Okavango Delta is a maze of lagoons, lakes and hidden channels covering an area of over 16,000 square km in flood and shrinking to less than 9,000 square km in the dry season.

Wildlife Activities

All game-viewing activities are conducted by experienced professional guides and include exploring the Okavango by canoe (mokoro) and motorboat. Guided nature walks on the various islands afford an opportunity to track some of the larger species that inhabit this water wilderness. Bird-watching opportunities are outstanding. Fishing for the fighting tiger-fish, pike and bream is excellent at most times of the year.
