Move from Maun into the flooded channels of the Okavango and the elephant-rich banks of Chobe on an eight-day wilderness circuit. Expect mokoro excursions, open-vehicle game drives, bush camps with bucket showers, and strong chances to see elephants, lions, and wild dogs.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the vehicle into the thin, dry air of the Kalahari edge and the delta answers with a different voice — reed channels sigh, birds call sharply, and the river pulls gray elephants to the bank. Over eight days you'll move from Maun's dusty gateway into the flooded arteries of the Okavango, across Khwai and Moremi's mosaic of woodland and floodplain, then out to Savute marsh and the Chobe riverfront where elephants outnumber people.

History
The Okavango Delta is a dynamic inland delta shaped by seasonal flooding from Angola; parts of the delta and Moremi were set aside decades ago to protect traditional hunting grounds and wildlife corridors.
Conservation
Tourism in the delta focuses on low-impact camps and guided experiences to limit disturbance; visitors should follow leave-no-trace rules and avoid driving off designated tracks.

Travel documents on hand
Carry passport copies and any visa documents; camps and park posts require ID for park permits and transfers.
Layer for mornings and evenings
Desert-proximate nights can be cool while days heat up—pack a warm midlayer and a sun shell.
Mosquito protection
Use DEET or picaridin repellent and a treated sleep sheet or net if you’re sensitive—especially around waterways at dusk.
Quiet during mokoro and drives
Stay low-voiced and follow your guide’s directions—animals react to sudden noise and movement.
Binoculars (8x or 10x)
Bring close-focusing optics to scan floodplains and riverbanks for distant wildlife.
Insect repellent (DEET/picaridin)
Protects against mosquitoes and tsetse flies when moving through reed and river margins.
Lightweight long-sleeve layers
Shields from sun and insects while providing warmth in cool mornings.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Keeps you hydrated on long drives; guides supply bottled water but a filter bottle reduces waste.
