Activities
The Okavango Delta is arguably
the finest wilderness wetland in the world; renowned as a haven for rare
species such as the elusive sitatunga antelope and the Pel's fishing
owl. The Delta is also a bird-watchers paradise. Camp Okavango is the
ideal base from which to discover the secrets of this incredible wetland
ecosystem. All game-viewing activities are conducted by experienced resident
naturalist guides and include exploring the Okavango in 4x4 safari vehicles,
by mokoro and river craft on wildlife and bird-watching expeditions,
and on foot. Guided nature walks on the islands of the Delta afford an
opportunity to track some of the larger species that inhabit this water
wilderness. Fishing for the fighting Tiger Fish, African Pike and Bream
(Tilapia) is excellent at most times of the year.
Wildlife
Camp Okavango borders the Moremi Wildlife Reserve
and, as such, includes a diverse habitat that supports a wide variety
of animals, with possible sightings of Wild Dog, Cheetah and Leopard being
highlights. Resident species include Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, Giraffe,
Hyena, Zebra, Kudu, Red Lechwe, Sable and Roan Antelope and many more.
Birdwatching is excellent throughout the year. Guided nature walks to
the Delta's islands afford an opportunity to track the larger species
that inhabit this wilderness area.
