Okavango Delta: A Water Safari Like No Other
The Okavango Delta is a vast and unspoiled wetland that transforms with seasonal floods, creating a network of lush waterways, islands, and lagoons. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Africa’s most unique safari destinations, attracting an incredible diversity of wildlife.
One of the best ways to explore the delta is by mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe paddled by skilled guides. Gliding silently through the water, travelers can get an intimate look at elephants wading in the shallows, hippos surfacing nearby, and an array of birdlife thriving in this oasis. Walking safaris offer another perspective, allowing visitors to track wildlife on foot across remote islands. For those looking for a more traditional safari, Moremi Game Reserve within the delta provides game drives that reveal an abundance of predators, including lions, leopards, and wild dogs.
Chobe National Park: Land of Giants
Chobe National Park is world-famous for its massive elephant herds, with over 120,000 elephants roaming the landscape. The park is also home to large populations of buffalo, lions, and hippos, making it one of Botswana’s top wildlife destinations.
One of the best ways to experience Chobe is on a boat safari along the Chobe River. As the sun sets, elephants come to drink, hippos wallow in the water, and crocodiles bask on the riverbanks. Mokoro canoeing offers a quieter way to navigate the waterways, bringing visitors closer to the park’s birdlife and smaller creatures along the shoreline. The Savuti region of the park is well known for its dramatic wildlife encounters, particularly its powerful lion prides that have been known to hunt elephants. With over 450 bird species, Chobe is also a paradise for birdwatchers.
