Studded with exotic islands, this delta is renowned for its incredible variety of bird species and wildlife and is unique to Southern Africa.
Here you have the opportunity to take the optional 3 Day / 2 Night Drive In / Mokoro Excursion into the Okavango Delta. From Maun you drive north for a couple of hours to reach the mokoro poler‟s station.
Mokoros are traditional dug out canoes manoeuvred through the waterways by local guides who “pole” them through the reeds. After your guides find you a place to camp, you set off on an afternoon game walk, allowing you to experience the wilderness of the Okavango Delta.
For those who'd prefer not to explore the delta, you can stay at the lovely campsite relaxing by the swimming pool or challenging each other to a game of volleyball. There is also a crocodile farm nearby that has it's feeding times open to campsite visitors. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
