Affordable Okavango Delta Safari rates 2023

A note about water levels in the Okavango Delta – The main water source for the waterways and lagoons of the Okavango Delta comes from the Angolan highlands. This flood water starts arriving in the main Delta area from April or May. Parts of the Delta will dry up, making water activities impossible. It does however create an incredible game watching opportunity. This safari is outstanding throughout the year.
