Highlights & What to Expect

Water-based safaris searching for the mammals, birds, and reptiles that inhabit this part of Africa can take the form of motorboat safaris on the lagoon and channels or silently gliding across the clear waterways of the Okavango in a dugout canoe.
Walking safaris on one of the many islands in the area is a memorable way to experience the wilderness on foot, strolling amongst the animals while appreciating spectacular sightings that could include predators while savoring the natural beauty and tranquility of one of Africa's genuinely remarkable conservation areas.
Catch-and-release fishing pursuing the tiger fish, notorious as one of the most incredible freshwater fighting fish, will add additional excitement to your safari in Africa.
