ARRIVE IN MAUN, AND FLY TO MAPULA LODGE, OKAVANGO DELTA
Your first day on safari is always a good one, and when you arrive at Mapula, you won’t be disappointed. Leap into action on a game drive, or settle into your surroundings with a crisp G&T in camp as the sun goes down.
Wildlife
The Okavango Delta region is particularly well-known for its diverse and staggeringly high quantities of game and during your stay at both Mapula and Sable Alley you’re more than likely to sight zebra, wildebeest, impala, buffalo, reedbuck, and sable and roan antelope on the plains. On game drives, you’ll watch lion and cheetah on the prowl, and seek out elusive leopard and wild dog – and don’t forget the many elephants that are seemingly ever-present. Then there’s the unique aquatic antelope (sitatunga and lechwe) and the seemingly endless stream of water birds. And that’s just the beginning.
Follow the wildlife on an all-day game drive, or park at a waterhole and let the animals meander around you. The next day, float around the watery wonderland on a boat safari watch hippo jousting for territory and crocodile basking in the sun.
