Full-Day Boating Safari into the Okavango Delta

The full-day boating safari takes you up the Boro River and through the buffalo fence, exploring the Okavango Delta channels towards Chief’s Island. This experience showcases magnificent views of the watery landscapes, papyrus and reed-lined channels, wide lagoons and palm tree islands. Wildlife encounters to name a few will include hippo’s, crocodiles lazing on the banks and different antelopes such as the water-loving red lechwe. A real highlight of a boat safari is witnessing a herd of elephants feeding and swimming in the river channels. As well as wildlife, being on the water allows for fantastic birdlife sightings such as the majestic fish eagles, kingfishers and African jacanas. Skimming smoothly over the clear waters of the Okavango is a tranquil experience that is a must do when visiting Maun.

The full-day boat safari departs early morning from Maun. It can be chilly on the water in the early hours of the morning especially when the boat is cruising. The day will be spent navigating the channels, spotting wildlife and bird watching. Around midday, you will stop off on an island where a picnic lunch will be enjoyed. Your guide will take those who would like to, on a bushwalk or you can simply sit back and take in the peaceful scenery. After lunch, you will make your way back downstream, arriving in Maun in the late afternoon.
