Highlights of the Okavango safari
- discover the world’s largest inland delta
- a lush oasis in the middle of the Kalahari desert with some of the best wildlife in Africa – huge herds of elephant and buffalo roam the delta also cheetah… you may even spot leopard!
- plentiful collection of browsers and grazers – the predators will naturally flock to where food is in abundance. More common sightings include giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, hyena, antelope plus one of Africa’s most endangered predators, the wild dog. Listen after dark and you may hear the nocturnal roars of the resident lion!
Best time to go to the Okavango
- July, August, and September – best time for big game viewing is during the drier winter months, the wildlife is outstanding (as with many African safari hot spots).
- November to March – best for bird watchers
- May and June – just before the peak rush of tourists arrive. Expect clear skies and lingering green bush and healthy, well-fed animals (this is the end of the rainy season).
