Overview

Fly low over the channels from Maun and land on a grass strip beside camp. From here the Delta is yours, explored by mokoro, motorboat, on foot and in an open vehicle with a guide who grew up on these waters.

It is a short stay, but a concentrated one. Three days is enough to feel the rhythm of the flood, and to understand why so many people come back.

Highlights

  • Mokoro trip through the papyrus channels
  • Guided walks on palm islands
  • Game drives for lion, leopard and elephant
  • Scenic light-aircraft flights
