Kayaking on the Okavango was a unique experience, which lets you get up close and personal with the incredible animals of the African bush.
Home to elephants, zebras, lions and wilderbeest, as well as crocodiles that prowl the waterways, so please keep your hands safely in the boat at all times!
What is the Okavango Delta?
Botswana, one of the most prosperous countries in Africa, is home to the incredible Okavango Delta. One of seven natural wonders of Africa, the Okavango is a UNESCO world heritage site for a reason.
The Delta is a flooded grassy plain, which is full of lush animal habitat. The Okavango Delta is situated in the Moremi Game reserve, and is considered to be one of the last great bastions of huge concentrations of wildlife. The best way to explore is by Kayak.
Kayaking on the Okavango Delta
Once you hop into the Kayak, the trail follows narrow paths through the leaves. The guide also points out any areas of interest that if you are brave enough to venture into, could be further explored. The best way to navigate this huge expanse of inland rivers is by dug out canoes. Weaving around the Hippos and crocodiles, as you coast past animals refreshing themselves at the water’s shorelines.
An example of the paths, you will follow.
You also get to spend a night camping in the bush. The sounds of the insect choir was also deafening at the river’s edge throughout the night!
Elephants cooling off at the water’s edge.
