One of my favourite memories of Botswana was listening to the amazing sounds of the Okavango Delta at night. There’s something quite magical in listening to that abundance of nature and wildlife whilst safely relaxing in the comfort of the lodge.

Where to go
Okavango Delta
The incredible Okavango Delta has a well-deserved reputation as one of the world’s best wildlife habitats. During the dry season, its vast plains are flooded by the Okavango River, transforming it into an irresistible attraction for animals in search of water. Board a traditional mokoro to get up close and personal with its intriguing ecosystem or take a hot air balloon ride to see it all from above.

When to visit
May through to October are the best game viewing months as the climate is very dry and the water begins to recede, making the animals congregate in smaller areas. This period marks the best time to visit the Okavango Delta, Linyanti, Moremi and Chobe National Park.
