Safari Experiences

Game Drives
Morning and afternoon game drives explore the diverse habitats surrounding Xakanaxa, an area famous for its remarkable concentrations of wildlife. Guests regularly encounter elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, red lechwe, hippo, crocodile, and African wild dog.

Boat Safaris
Boat excursions along the Maunachira River and Xakanaxa Lagoon provide a completely different perspective of the Okavango Delta. Consequently, guests can quietly explore winding channels while observing hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and an extraordinary variety of birdlife.

Mokoro Safaris
One of the most peaceful ways to experience the Okavango Delta is by traditional mokoro. Expert polers guide these handcrafted dugout canoes through narrow reed-lined channels and quiet lagoons, allowing guests to appreciate the Delta’s smaller wildlife, aquatic plants, and abundant birdlife from a unique perspective. Consequently, mokoro excursions offer a slower, more intimate safari experience that perfectly complements game drives and boat safaris

Birdwatching
The permanent waterways and surrounding floodplains make Okuti a paradise for birdwatchers. Herons, storks, kingfishers, African fish eagles, jacanas, and many other species thrive in this rich wetland environment. Additionally, the nearby breeding colonies attract impressive numbers of waterbirds during the nesting season.

Wildlife Photography
The varied landscapes of Moremi provide exceptional opportunities for photographers. From predators on open floodplains to elephants crossing waterways and colourful birdlife along the riverbanks, every safari offers outstanding photographic opportunities.
