Make the most of your safari to the Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is one of the most dynamic, complex and exciting safari destinations in Africa. The incredible diversity in wildlife, landscapes, accommodation, activities and safari experiences is staggering. And then there is the seasonal nature of the Okavango Delta, constantly transforming with the annual arrival of the flood waters which in turn affects the safari experience at each camp differently.
The sheer volume of information and options can be overwhelming. Let us guide you. Every safari we arrange is tailormade to suit your personal interests and particular requirements. Our suggested itineraries are provided as inspiration but are by no means set in stone.
When planning your safari we consider a number of important details such as when you want to travel, who is travelling, your preferred comfort levels, how long do you want to be on safari and what pace of safari would you prefer? What is the aim of the safari, are there any special interests to take into account? Are there any particular activities which appeal? How can you incorporate the Okavango into your wider itinerary? And of course budget will play an important role in planning your safari.
There is no such thing as ‘the best’ Okavango safari. The most famous camps do not necessarily mean the best safari experience for you. Forget the awards and glossy magazine reports. We plan your safari with you, by matching our expert knowledge of the area with your personal interests and requirements to create the trip you have in mind.
With the right support, planning a safari is incredibly exciting. We have the knowledge and experience to breakdown the various options for you, providing you with the information you need to make an informed decision and confidently book the best possible safari suited for you.
This site aims to offer a comprehensive introduction to the Okavango Delta and answer some of the most frequent questions. Contact us for further information and to start planning your safari.
Perfect recommendation, smooth execution! They fully understood our needs and made perfect recommendations. This was by far the best safari I've ever been to, tailored to us and simply exceeding our expectations. Without their help and advice - we wouldn't be able to make this fantastic trip. Worth every penny

Excellent service so glad I found this company to book with! We had to book last minute as another holiday fell through and Louise took time to understand what we were looking for and the holiday exceeded expectations. Answered all my question in a timely way and I found Louise very easy to chat to. They even arranged some special moments as the trip celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary.

Fantastic Service, Terrific Safari
Attentive, efficient, responsive and overall great service arranging my safari excursion in Botswana. The folks at Okavango Delta were extremely helpful and courteous, answered every question I had, and always kept an eye on personalizing the trip so I'd get exactly what I wanted out of it. They also smoothed any little bumps that inevitably arise when planning a trip of this scope, and thoroughly prepared me for making my safari a fabulous once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended.

#1 Bucket list adventure of a lifetime
We had an absolutely lovely experience from beginning to end with Okavango Delta Explorations. The interaction with Maxine was exceptional. She was very responsive in such a lovely way to all our questions and put together THE MOST amazing trip for us. It will go down as one of our most treasured memories of a lifetime. We will be forever thankful.

An absolutely superb trip, and this is entirely down to Okavango Delta Explorations.
Louise carefully listened to what we wanted to get from the trip, and despite my work schedule patiently kept me informed of all developments in our honeymoon and planned everything. I can't fault Louise or the company's approach to organising this trip. No question or request was too much and everything was planned perfectly. We will definitely be returning and using the company again.

Kudos to Okavango Delta Explorations
Anna guided us through the process of creating our itinerary and provided us with a flawless trip! Everything about our safari, from the selection of game lodges, transportation and transfer logistics, was handled professionally and smoothly. The Desert and Delta trip met all our expectations and we had a wonderful experience.

Best Trip Ever
Our experience with Okavango Delta Explorations was outstanding. We worked closely with Louise FitzGerald through email and video conferencing over the course of several months to craft our Botswana safari and stays in Victoria Falls and Johannesburg. Louise was flexible and very helpful and listened to our needs and requirements. The safari was an unforgettable experience. The camps and lodges that Louise chose were terrific accommodations that aligned with our budget. The safari guides at all locations were amazing - they educated us, kept us safe, and shared these incredible habitats with us - and the staff’s hospitality at each camp was warm and welcoming. We were quite well fed and cared for. All of the transfers and logistics went off flawlessly - which is impressive given how much you move around during the course of several weeks including multiple flights and border crossings. An app is provided that contains everything about your trip, including local weather reports, which was a great and handy resource to have. Our accommodations in Vic Falls and Johannesburg were also lovely.
We found that planning a safari for the first time is daunting, but knew that we didn’t want to sign on to a ready-made group tour with the big-name operators. Using this company gave us the flexibility we wanted with all the infrastructure perfectly in place. We are inspired to go again on safari and if we do, we would use Okavango Delta Explorations again to manage our next adventure. HIGHLY recommend!
