Mogotho, Okavango Delta FROM U$D 315 P/P/S
DAY 1: You arrive in the bustling safari town of Maun and are assisted onto your flight into the Okavango Delta. The light aircraft travels deep into the delta floodplains and is part of a daily route that often stops at a number of bush airstrips to deliver / collect other travelers. Upon arrival your camp guide who will provide a game drive or boat cruise on the way to your camp greets you. After a short rest, you embark on an afternoon game drive in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Okavango Mogotho Camp is a place to escape civilization and get back to nature. The camp’s tents are functional rather than stylish, but are surprisingly spacious and have private bathrooms with flushing toilets. Note that the camp is not fenced, and guests are escorted to and from their tents after dark. You stay here is immersed in the absolute serenity of one of the world’s last true wildernesses.
DAY 2: While the camp's major focus is on walking safaris, this isn't a hard and fast rule and you can opt to go on as many game drives and/or mokoro safaris as you wish, depending on the group consensus between the other guests and the camp guide. This consensus is required because there is only one guide and one game drive vehicle available for the maximum seven guests. Each walk lasts for 3-4 hours and you'll usually head off in the early morning and again in the afternoon, though sometimes you’ll be driven to a start point a little way from camp. These are not route marches, but opportunities to explore the environment and wildlife with an expert guide, and to gain an authentic taste of the bush. This area of the Okavango Delta is notable for the diversity of wildlife and lion, wild dog and hyena are often seen in the area, along with a variety of plains game. Lone bull elephants are also found most of the year, whilst breeding herds migrate here towards the end of the dry season.
DAY 3: After an early morning boat or bush walk or game drive and a hearty brunch, we say “tsamaya sentle” (“goodbye and go well” in the local Setswana language) as you board your light aircraft for the flight back to the bustling safari town of Maun and your onward travel arrangements.
This is a travel idea, not a fixed itinerary. You can easily combine this trip idea with other destinations like Chobe National Park, Victoria Falls, Makgadikgadi Pans, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
