Day 7 - 9: Maun And Okavango Delta – Botswana

Maun is well known as the gateway to the Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta. The Okavango River has no outlet to the sea, so it empties into the sandy Kalahari Desert of Botswana, irrigating some 15,000 square km’s.

We spend one night in Maun to prepare for our trip into the delta. Next we fly over this amazing wetland area in small planes making our way to our safari camp for the next 2 nights.

Wild animals are often spotted from the safari lodge, but we also take a nature walk with a local expert and a guided afternoon boat cruise. If the water level allows we enjoy a mokoro (traditional canoe) trip. The animals in the Delta are not as familiar with people so the game viewing is totally wild, as are the hippos in the river!

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
