Best Things to Do in Okavango Delta

Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Okavango Delta

Far from the more heavily visited game parks of East Africa, Botswana’s Okavango Delta was recently named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and the 1,000th UNESCO World Heritage Site across the globe. And no wonder – the wildlife viewing in this “desert oasis” is superb. Intrigued? Let Stride help you find the right outfitter to explore this remarkable region.

Top Okavango Delta Experiences

  • Coming face to face with a hippo while gliding through a narrow channel in a traditional dugout canoe (mokoro).
  • Viewing lions and leopards battle Cape buffalo or elephants on the plains or in the swamps in dramatic quests for survival.
  • Spotting rare birds in the northwest Panhandle area of the Delta, which harbors hundreds of exotic species.
  • Camping out under the stars on one of the Delta’s thousands of islands.
  • Joining a 4X4 game drive in search of Africa’s “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino).
  • Taking a scenic plane ride over the Delta to be awed by its vast scope.
  • Enjoying the peace and tranquility of a night in one of the most remote corners of Africa.
  • Staying at a luxury lodge and being pampered in one of the many private reserves bordering the national park.

Amazing group leader - Bibi was patient, generous with his experience, knowledge and enthusiasm. I cannot recommend him more! I only wish the tents weren’t so leaky!

The amazing close encounters with the wildlife on a daily basis. Every day our expectations were surpassed. We saw 9 leopards, 2 cheetahs and so many lions and elephants over our week wild camping.

Highlights have to be the sheer abundance of wildlife viewed on the tour. Birds, crocs, hippos and elephants in Okavango Delta, then lions, giraffes, leopards, antelope, jackal, buffalo, wildebeest and many more hippos & elephants in Chobe and Moremi.

Travelling in large 4x4 isn't the most comfy, but just about bearable on the long days. Lots of mileage to see everything, but that's fairly unavoidable

Camping was better than expected, in that the en-suite facilities were available for the entire 7 days. Yeah, it's basic, but the camp guys are excellent, work hard and provide decent food over a campfire.

Maun hotel is poor, but Victoria Falls lodge one is very good. Don't eat in the hotels though. Make sure you get out to explore a bit more. There are plenty of tourist friendly restaurants and bars

Our tour guide KK was excellent. He had great knowledge, was friendly and led in a way that wasn't overly formal, so it felt he was another member of the group
