Okavango Motorboat Birding Safari

Okavango permanent waters, Botswana

About this experience

In the Okavango’s permanent channels and lagoons, a motorboat trip covers more ground than a mokoro. It is an excellent way to see waterbirds, including herons, storks, kingfishers and African fish eagles, as well as hippo and crocodile.

Some trips visit heronries during breeding season or stop for fishing where permitted.
