A full-day trip through the delta is an incredible experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the region.
As you embark on this journey, you will have the opportunity to explore the delta's waterways by traditional mokoro canoes. Along the way, you can expect to encounter a variety of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and an array of bird species. The lush vegetation and water features in the delta create a picturesque and peaceful environment.
Having a packed lunch in such a serene setting is a perfect way to recharge and appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us. I'm looking forward to this incredible day trip in the Okavango Delta.
TOUR LOCATION
Situated along the banks of the Thamalakane River, in the North-West District of Botswana, Maun, a term that derives its name from the San language, meaning "the place of reeds," serves as the administrative town center of Ngamiland. Maun is notoriously known as a "Frontier" town, and is referred to as the 'gateway' to the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve as most tourists enter these destinations through this buzzing town.
Although classified as one of the fastest growing towns in Botswana, and boasting one of the busiest airports in Southern Africa, Maun still retains much of its old/traditional (village-like) character, which encompasses the old judicial court of chiefs who are still active. Reed and mud hut infrastructures are seen in and around town as well as donkeys/carts and livestock.
However, numerous hotels, lodges, bed and breakfasts, shopping malls, post offices, a museum and a big hospital are available too. Maun also serves as the headquarters for the safari industry, tour operators and air charter companies that offer trips into the Okavango Delta and National Parks such as Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai, Savute, Makgadikgadi, Chobe, Nxai Pan to name a few, as well as monumental historical sites like the Tsodilo Hills. Opportunities to visit nearby cultural villages can also be arranged from this central point.
