  • Leopard
  • Buffalo
  • Giraffe
  • Zebra

Guided Walking Safaris
Walking safaris provide an opportunity to experience the Delta on foot while learning about animal tracks, plants, insects, and wildlife behaviour. Experienced guides share insight into the ecological systems that support this remarkable wilderness area. Furthermore, walking safaris reveal details often missed during traditional game drives.

Night Drives
Night drives allow guests to experience the African bush after dark and encounter nocturnal wildlife that is rarely seen during the day. Consequently, these excursions add another dimension to the safari experience.

Water-Based Safari Experiences

Mokoro Excursions
Traditional mokoro excursions offer one of the most iconic Okavango Delta experiences. Guided by experienced polers, guests glide through reed-lined channels while observing birdlife, aquatic species, and the smaller details of the Delta ecosystem. Meanwhile, the slower pace of a mokoro safari provides a peaceful and immersive perspective of the waterways.

Motorised Boat Safaris
Water levels permitting, boat excursions explore larger channels and floodplain systems surrounding the camp. These outings provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing, photography, and birdwatching from the water.

Fishing
Seasonal catch-and-release fishing is available and offers another enjoyable way to experience the waterways of the Okavango Delta.

Birdwatching and Photography

The varied habitats surrounding Kiri Camp support exceptional birdlife throughout the year.

Species regularly encountered may include:

  • Fish eagles
  • Kingfishers
  • Herons
  • Storks
  • Bee-eaters

  • Raptors
  • Seasonal migratory birds

In addition, the floodplains and waterways create outstanding opportunities for wildlife and landscape photography.
