Described as ’the jewel’ of the Kalahari, the Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world. It is an isolated oasis set in Botswana’s harsh and arid desert. It consists of a web of lagoons, lakes, and hidden channels covering an area of over 17,000 square kilometers. Its waters are surprisingly clear and pure due to the fact that it passes through very sparsely populated areas.
Over 400 species of birds flourish here, especially the water-loving birds. Fishing can take place anywhere in the delta, but the major fishing camps are in the north of the delta, in the Panhandle. On the mainland and among the various islands in the delta, lions, elephants, hyenas, wild dogs, buffalo, hippo, and crocodiles congregate with a large variety of antelopes and other smaller animals. Its fertile shores draw these animals to it, making the area one of the best Big Five African safari destinations.

Chobe National Park is named after the Chobe River. It is the second largest national park in Botswana and is home to a large animal population and over 450 bird species. It has four distinctly different eco-systems: Serondela with its lush plains and dense forests in the extreme North-East of the Chobe River area, the Savuti Marsh area in the West, the Linyati Swamps in the North West and the hot dry hinterland in between the other three.
One of its biggest attractions is the annual zebra migration. It also boasts one of the largest elephant populations in Africa. The elephants are migratory and move from the Chobe and Linyati rivers where they concentrate during the dry seasons, to the pans in the southeast section of the park, where they disperse during the rains. These elephants are said to have the distinction of being the largest in body size of all living elephants. Their ivory, though, is brittle, and you won’t spot any large tusks on them.
The most popular area is the stretch of the Chobe River from Kasane town to Serondela campsite. Hundreds of hippos and crocodiles gather here. The Savuti region is one of the best-known wildlife places, especially for lion sightings. Other major animal species are giraffe, impala, hyenas, leopards, wildebeest, kudu, waterbuck, warthog, jackals, and many more. Its rich bird life includes species such as eagles, kingfishers, marabou storks, and bee-eaters. For fishing enthusiasts,the Chobe River provides a large variety of edible fish. Game viewing is best during the dry season, April to October when the majority of natural pans have dried up. Animals, however, are present year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a Delta Dreams Tour and Victoria Falls package?
A Delta Dreams Tour combined with Victoria Falls usually includes accommodation, meals, transfers between destinations, and guided safari activities. In the Okavango Delta, you can expect game drives, boat safaris, and peaceful mokoro canoe excursions through the waterways. When visiting the Victoria Falls, guided tours of the falls and optional sunset cruises on the Zambezi River are often part of the experience. Many packages also include park entry fees and professional local guides. International flights, visas, and travel insurance are usually not included, so it’s always good to double-check the details before booking.
How many days do I need for this tour?
Most travelers choose between 7 and 10 days to properly enjoy both the Delta and Victoria Falls. The Okavango Delta deserves at least three nights so you can experience different safari activities at a relaxed pace. Victoria Falls is often enjoyed over two nights, giving you time to explore viewpoints and try optional activities like helicopter flights or river cruises. Longer itineraries may also include Chobe National Park for even more wildlife encounters. The key is not to rush, as each destination offers a very different and special atmosphere.
What kind of wildlife will I see in the Okavango Delta?
The Okavango Delta is one of Africa’s richest wildlife regions, and sightings can be truly spectacular. You may see elephants swimming between islands, lions resting in the shade, hippos in the lagoons, and large herds of buffalo. Birdlife is incredible as well, especially during the green season when migratory species arrive. Because the Delta is a water-based ecosystem, the scenery feels very different from typical dry savannah safaris. Every game drive or boat trip feels like a new adventure.
When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls and the Delta?
The dry season from June to October is often considered the best time for wildlife viewing in the Delta because animals gather around water sources. However, Victoria Falls is at its most powerful between February and May, right after the rainy season, when the Zambezi River is full and the spray is dramatic. During this high-water period, you’ll feel the thunder and mist from far away. Each season offers a different experience, so the best time depends on whether you prioritize wildlife concentration or the dramatic flow of the falls. Many travelers choose shoulder seasons for a balance of both.
Is this tour suitable for couples or special occasions?
Yes, this combination is incredibly popular for honeymoons, anniversaries, and romantic getaways. The Delta offers intimate lodges in remote locations, candlelit dinners under the stars, and peaceful sunset views over the water. Victoria Falls adds a sense of drama and adventure, making the trip feel both exciting and meaningful. Many lodges provide personalized touches for special celebrations. It’s the kind of journey that feels both luxurious and deeply connected to nature at the same time.
