Okavango Value

Experience daily African wildlife encounters with nature in a classic safari vehicle through the eyes and

knowledge of our passionate guides. Departure times occur in the cooler hours of the early mornings or

afternoons, a favourite for guests and wildlife itself. Our Mogotlho guides are excited to share their

knowledge of the bush with you and provide a game viewing experience of the highest quality.

Night safaris are an invitation to discover the mysterious world of nocturnal wildlife. Exploring the

wilderness provides a unique opportunity to discover the unusual and secretive nocturnal members of the animal kingdom. A two-hour drive offers the chance to see a different world of nocturnal species including owls and a variety of diurnally elusive predators.

Walking in the footsteps of our safari guides along the banks of the Khwai River provides you with an

opportunity to learn more about the indigenous flora and traditional medicinal uses of plants, getting up

close and personal with nature. A bush walk is a sensory experience, spending time observing, listening, learning and reconnecting to the African animal kingdom. Our guides will highlight the various facets of the ecosystem, as well as impart their tracking knowledge, sharing the rich history of Botswana.

Mogotlho Lodge celebrates and supports local culture and history and is proud to be in partnership with the community from Mababe. Be curious and learn more about the co-existence of wildlife and humans in this African landscape and how dynamic and perspective has evolved over centuries.

Take to the skies on a helicopter experience in Khwai for the quintessential Botswana safari and get an entirely different vantage point over this unique wilderness area. The breathtaking world of the Okavango Delta is a multi-faceted marvel of nature, witnessed in vibrant detail from above.

Soaring through the air up to 1000 feet on your Khwai helicopter experience will uncover the true vastness of the Okavango Delta on one of Africa’s last remaining wetland excursions. Permanent waterways, palm islands and lagoons, and incredible wildlife sightings offer great photographic opportunities. You can also include a special champagne stop on your helicopter experience in Khwai. Land on a deserted palm island, pop the cork and enjoy the astonishing views while discovering more about the Delta.

The lifeline that is the Khwai River makes the area a wild haven as this stable water source also lies along a seasonal animal migratory route. A mokoro experience in Khwai, floating down the river in a dugout canoe, brings another perspective to Botswana’s wildlife wonders. Mokoros, traditionally crafted from hardwood tree trunks, have long served as a vital mode of transportation across the waterways of the Okavango Delta. In recent times, however, their purpose has transformed, as these very mokoros have found a new role in fostering sustainable tourism.
