1 Day Okavango Delta Boat Tour

All you need to bring is yourself, a cap, some sunscreen, shades and a scarf to protect your nose from the wind. A camera and a pair of binoculars are highly recommended. Your beverage preferences will have been taken at the time of booking.

We’ll depart at 0700hrs and depending on the wind as well as what we spot along our journey, we expect to arrive at Chief’s Island around lunch time where we will have a light lunch, picnic style. You will experience midday silence and the soothing smell of the bush as you relax in awe of the delta breeze. We will head back downstream for the 2nd leg of our delta experience. Our Professional Guide will share his/her in- depth knowledge on birding as we move along the delta and its channels.

Traversing the meandering palm and papyrus fringed waterways, we will pass through palm-fringed islands and thick woodland, resplendent with lush vegetation, and hopefully spotting some wildlife as we experience the many facets of this unique ecosystem, the largest intact inland delta in the world. The diversity and numbers of animals and birds can be staggering. A recent overview of the Okavango records 122 species of mammals, 71 species of fish, 444 species of birds, 64 species of reptiles and 1300 species of flowering plants. With luck on our side, we hope to spot some of these delta beauties.
