Okavango Delta
Seasonal floods spread across Botswana’s dry Kalahari, bringing wildlife to the Okavango’s lagoons, islands and papyrus channels.
Explore Xakanaxa by game drive and boat, or take a guided mokoro through shallower channels elsewhere in the delta. Quiet water gives reflections of the papyrus from seat height. Moremi self-drivers need a confirmed campsite booking, DWNP permit and high-clearance 4x4; flooded tracks may close. Camps are unfenced, so use a torch after dark and stay in vehicles outside camp; the delta is a malaria area.
