The Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is one of the natural wonders of the world. It receives floodwaters from the mountains of Angola and this water acts as a magnet drawing astounding quantities of game to the Delta. The Okavango is comprised of several excellent private concessions each of which have a handful of ultra luxury camps. The game is prolific with big elephant and buffalo herds and strong concentration of big cats. White rhino have been successfully re-introduced into the Delta.

The Okavango Delta is famous for “mokoro” safari which takes you along the various river channels to see game along the river banks. You can sometimes have interesting close encounters with hippo, crocodile and elephant! Its traditional vehicle safari is probably the best in Africa.

The Linyanti area is renowned for its elephant herds and sightings of the rare wild dogs. The big cats are, of course, very well represented.

Game

Botswana's game is varied and of high density. The elephant and wild buffalo herds are huge and the antelope species are plentiful. Botswana is a haven for predators; lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas are widely prevalent and it is also one of the best places in Africa to see the endangered wild dog. In recent years, the white rhino has been successfully re-introduced.

Botswana is truly a jewel in Africa's safari crown. The safari experience is private and exclusive in ultra-luxury camps where guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine and the highest levels of service and hospitality.
