Botswana Okavango Safari

Journey overview

Botswana Okavango Safari

May–October for water and predators in many concessions. Two camps, enough nights, no filler.

This is a starting point. We refine lodges, flying days and pacing around who is travelling, the season and how you like to spend a safari afternoon.

Water and wilderness

The Okavango’s flood pulse shapes which activities are possible — mokoro, motorboat and game drives each suit different channels and seasons.

We match camp style to how you want to experience the Delta: active days, quiet water or a mix of both.

Activities on this journey

  • Mokoro excursions in the Okavango
  • Motorboat and game drives in private concessions
  • Sunset river cruises
  • Walking safaris with armed guides
  • Star-bed and bush dining experiences

How to get there

Maun and Kasane are the main safari hubs. Light aircraft link camps; we minimise back-to-back flight days where possible.

Climate

Botswana’s dry winter from May to October concentrates wildlife around water. Summer rains from November to March green the landscape and bring dramatic skies.

Best time to visit

May to October is peak for water-focused camps. We match camp choice to flood levels and your appetite for exclusivity.
