The delta environment has large numbers of animal populations that are otherwise rare, such as crocodile, red lechwe, sitatunga, elephant, wild dogs, buffalo, wattled crane as well as the other more common mammals and bird life.
Afternoon activity: Safari activities by water are the primary speciality of the Okavango - the mokoro. a dugout canoe which is 'poled' along by your Guide, is the most evocative way of exploring the numerous waterways.
