3-Daagse Okavango Delta Verkenningssafari in Botswana

Itinerary

Day 1: Maun - Okavango Delta

This safari starts in the tourist town of Maun. You have a welcome briefing before heading out on your next adventure. Depending on your itinerary, you either have lunch at Maun lodge or a packed lunch on the way. The Okavango Delta was recently designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the mid-afternoon, you arrive at your mobile tented camp situated in the heart of the Okavango.

Depending on water levels, you may travel via Mokoro (Traditional Dug-Out Canoe) or drive into the camp. On arrival, you will meet the local staff who will be your hosts during your stay. A brief introduction to the camp will show your dome tent with twin beds and a bush en-suite bathroom - long drop toilet and a bucket shower. Relax in the mess tent with a cold drink or take a paddle in the lagoon in a canoe. The activities at the camp include Mokoro trails and guided walking.

Day 2: Okavango Delta

Most days at camp follow a similar pattern; the clatter of the water walla’s bucket lets you know your shower is ready. Up before the sun, you set out on foot to explore the area once again in search of game. Meet other guests at the mess for breakfast, then take a mokoro to explore further. Take time to catch up on your reading or view the birdlife from the mess tent. Lunch is normally served at around 1:00 p.m. After lunch, time is yours to relax or have a go at poling the mokoros or ask the guides to find a swim spot for you before the afternoon outing.

At about 3:00 p.m., you will be offered afternoon tea before the activities commence. Return to camp in the late afternoon for a sundowner while your dinner is being prepared. The clatter of the water bucket lets you know your shower is getting ready. During the evening, your hosts can be encouraged to share stories around the fire of their lives and lands. Be prepared if your Botswana hosts put on a song for you, they will expect one in return! As the evening draws to a close, lie back, and listen to the music of life - the sounds of the African bush.

Day 3: Okavango Delta

Wake up early for a quick coffee and your final activity before meandering down the pristine channels back to your collection point. You bid farewell to your Delta friends and family.
