5-Day Waterways & Wilderness, an Okavango Safari

Arriving in the Okavango Delta

Day 1Arriving in the Okavango Delta Arriving in the Okavango Delta The safari starts in Maun. You are met at the airport and assisted for the check in of the local flight to your lodge. Your adventure begins as you touch down on the Kanana airstrip after a scenic flight from Maun. On arrival, your guide welcomes you and whisks you away through the bush to camp. After settling into your spacious, canvas tent, you have time to relax on your private deck with a view over the wetlands. That afternoon, you head out on your first safari—perhaps a gentle mokoro excursion through lily-dappled channels (water level dependent) or a guided walk in search of rare birds. As the sun sets, you return to camp for a candlelit dinner beneath the stars.
