The Okavango delta is an awesome spectacle of nature. Here, a river flows through curves and turns and gauges itself in the African wilderness, ending on the sands of Kalahari desert, forming a delta, and giving rise to sprawling life.

Okavango is the biggest wetland in the whole of Africa, and because of this, you’ll find huge concentrations of wildlife here. The aerial view of the delta reveals that it is a network of water bodies, interconnected into each other, with land masses in between them, tangled like a web.

Okavango promised sights of elephants, hippos and rare birds along the river bed, and antelopes, zebras and wildebeests in the thick forest cover. The high concentrations of easy to catch mammals attracts a huge number of predators like the hyenas and the cheetahs, if you are lucky, you might even come across a tiger. The best time to hit the delta is dawn, when the mist un furls itself over the water body and you can spot some really wonderful birds and aquatic antelopes, thrusting with freshness. (more…)

Although, elephants are the undisputed rulers of this territory, you might be able to catch up with an odd hunting game here and there, during the great chobe migration.

The best game drive offered is through the savannah, where, if you are lucky, you can catch the lion and the hyena competing for their prey. The chobe river is also an over hauling experience, specially when its dry and herds of elephants and wild buffaloes can be seen grazing its bed. (more…)
