The Western edges of the Okavango Delta are some of the wettest and most permanent parts that exist. These permanent swamps with their thick papyrus and reed beds, through which the deep channels flow, are a marvel to behold. These areas are the life blood to the rest of the Delta and provide a home for a host of species. Hippos and Crocodiles rule the waterways, as Elephants crisscross the marshes between the islands in search of food. Red Lechwe also inhabits the islands of dry amongst the surrounding wetlands.

The area is a haven for large numbers of bird species and the ever-present Fish Eagles rule the skies. From above the deep winding channels are truly spectacular, bending and curving back on themselves creating incredible patterns amongst the thick reed beds.

A helicopter scenic allows you to get the bigger picture and see this incredible ecosystem in its entirety, along with the wildlife that inhabits this special place.
