About Okavango Delta Guided Game Drive
Explore the extraordinary wildlife habitats of Botswana's Okavango Delta on a guided 4x4 game drive. Travel through seasonal floodplains, open grasslands, woodland and island habitats with an experienced safari guide who helps interpret animal behaviour and the surrounding ecosystem. Search for elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, antelope and predators such as lions, depending on the area and prevailing conditions. The Delta's wildlife experience varies significantly between locations, seasons and water levels, making each outing unique. Ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, couples and small groups, this safari offers an opportunity to discover one of Africa's most remarkable wetland ecosystems. Game drives are available only where the selected camp or concession provides suitable land-based routes and authorised safari operations.
