What to Expect
A one-of-a-kind natural masterpiece, the Okavango Delta is the happy result of the 1,000-mile long Okavango River’s failure to find an outlet to the sea. This custom Botswana trip explores the river's wildlife-rich channels, where you quietly glide by mokoro, spotting hippos and elephants up close. The equally entrancing Makgadikgadi Salt Pans welcome you with its one-of-a-kind landscapes. Further highlights include stays in exclusive, luxury tented camps that offer privacy, comfort, and immersion in nature.
