The unique ecosystem and characteristic of the Okavango Delta allows for a diverse spectrum of wildlife and, coupled with effective protective measures, results in huge herds of impala and tsessebe. In the dry season, large herds of buffalo, wildebeest, elephant and zebra come into the reserve from the dry Kalahari Desert in search of both food and water.

At midday you’ll return to camp for lunch and afternoon siesta. In the afternoon embark on another game drive to explore this unique and legendary game reserve.
