7 Days Okavango Delta & Makgadikgadi

7 Days
6 Nights
Botswana

Overview

You will visit Mapula Lodge that occupies 12,00 hectares. The cottage faces an endless lagoon; it is at the corner of the seasonal floodplains. The waterway has astounding hippos. Mapula is a perfect place to watch the big game. Explore the channels by taking a mokoro canoe ride. This is the ancient way that the indigenous people used to travel. It is still in practice to date. This is one of the best ways to watch the animals as the boat takes you to places that are inaccessible on a game drive.

Taking a game drive in the Okavango Delta allows you to watch the game. Spot animals like cheetah, lion, elephant, leopard, unique sitatunga antelope, and hippo. Okavango is also a birding Mecca. There are various species of birds like the carmine bee-eater, wattled crane, and the African paradise flycatcher.

Get the ultimate wilderness experience by taking a mokoro ride through the lily-filled waterway. Sleep under the blue starred sky by fly camping. Hot air balloon rides and helicopter trips grant a vivid bird-watching experience. Explore the charming grasslands, floodplains, palm islands, lagoons, and streams. 

Makgadikgadi Pans are among the largest salt pans in the universe. In ancient times the lake dried up leaving behind the pan that stretches over  80,00 square kilometers. Boteti River is the only source of water in the area that never dries up. Therefore, animals come from every corner to quench their thirst. From your camp, you can view the animals following a similar pattern at the river. You will have an idyllic sighting from Meno Kwena.
