Walking Safaris

Furthermore, walking safaris reveal many of the smaller details often missed during game drives.

Night Drives

Consequently, evening excursions often become safari highlights.

Meanwhile, the peaceful pace of a mokoro safari provides a completely different perspective of the surrounding wilderness.

Boating Safaris
Motorboat excursions explore permanent channels, lagoons, and floodplain systems surrounding the camp. These outings offer excellent opportunities for photography, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing from the water.

Fishing
Seasonal catch-and-release fishing is available and provides another enjoyable way to experience the waterways of the Delta. Species commonly targeted include tigerfish and bream

Godikwe Heronry Excursions

One of the most unique experiences available from Kwara is visiting the famous Godikwe Heronry during the breeding season. This remarkable nesting colony attracts thousands of waterbirds and offers exceptional birdwatching and photographic opportunities.

In fact, the heronry is regarded as one of the most important bird breeding sites in the Okavango Delta.
