Okavango Delta is the Jewel of Botswana
This is the world’s largest inland delta and a miracle of nature. The water, coming from the Angolan highlands spreads out over 16 000 km² (6 180 square miles). The Okavango River fills up the Delta usually between April and Mai and transforms arid grassland areas of the Kalahari Desert into a magical oasis of islands and waterways.

Why Visit Okavango Delta?
An Ecological Wonder of Abundance
This remarkable region is a Wetland of International Importance (RAMSAR site) due to its unique ecosystem, it's often considered as a highlight of every Botswana safari and it is not hard to see why - in terms of pristine beauty, remote location and rich diversity of animal and birdlife the Okavango Delta is unparalleled and offers a great variety of safari activities. It's made up of complex networks of rivers and eco systems, which all have something different to offer at different times of the year. The probably most well-known area for safari within the Okavango Delta is the Moremi Game Reserve, an area protecting the incredible delta environment. Around that you will find a network of excellent private reserves and concessions.
Best Times To Visit Okavango Delta
Safari Highlights Shaped by the Floods
The Okavango Delta can be visited year-round, with each season offering unique perspectives.
- ➡ Dry Season (July to October)
-
The prime time for wildlife viewing is in the dry season from July to October, when the migratory game can be found in the Okavango Delta, as this is the time when the water levels are high. The high water levels also guarantee your water experiences, which most visitors of the Okavango Delta are after. And, because the bush is less thick in dry season, it makes it easy to spot animals. By the end of the dry season, in October, the temperatures start soaring and the humidity goes up, because the first rains are about to arrive in November, which is important to know, if you want to avoid the hottest months.
- ➡ Rainy Season (December to March)
-
December to March is the rainy season, also called the green season. The rainy season in southern Africa is less dramatic than it sounds though, as the rains are usually limited to an hour or two of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. This time is when the non-resident game migrates into other areas, like the Nxai and Makgadikgadi Pans. BUT, it is also the time when the lodge prices drop a lot and some of the top lodges become affordable to those who do not usually travel top end.
