Explore The Okavango

Delta on a Boat Safari

Inner Delta Boating Safaris are the true way of experiencing the Okavango Delta. These Safaris are available only when water levels permit boating.


Seasonally June to October.

On a boating safari, you'll glide along the winding waterways of the delta in a motorized boat, taking in the incredible sights and sounds of this unique ecosystem. You'll witness the majesty of elephants as they bathe and drink from the water, marvel at the incredible diversity of birdlife, and spot elusive predators such as lions and leopards as they roam through the savanna.

Okavango Boating Safari (Day Trip)

We can pick up from your place of accommodation in Maun between 6:30am and 7am (depending on where you are staying). If you are staying out of town please organise your transport with your place of accommodation. We then transfer to “The Old Bridge” where we will serve a light breakfast, coffee and tea from 7am. We then send you out on your boat by 8am for a full day of viewing game, birds and some of Botswana’s most breath-taking scenery.

This mesmerising adventure up winding Okavango channels will be interspersed with pauses for your viewing pleasure. You may also stop several times on your way for leg stretches and breaks. This trip is a classic example of the “journey being the destination”, the object is not to get anywhere in particular but to spend time in the Okavango delta.

Around midday we will reach the turning point near Chiefs Island where your guide will take you for a 1 hour game walk.

Once back at the boat landing your guide will set up a picnic lunch with table and chairs. After lunch you may rest in a shady, beautiful setting to soak up the peace and serenity of the Okavango delta. You then depart for the downstream return trip at around 2pm, arriving at The Old Bridge before 6pm. Where possible, depending on water levels you may use a different combination of channels on your way back.

Once back in Maun we will transport you to where you are staying that night in Maun.
