Located on the southern edge of the Okavango Delta, the town of Maun serves as the gateway to the northern regions of Botswana. For more than a century, this dusty town has been the starting point for expeditions to the North-West District of Botswana, which has become known as the country's safari capital. Many Okavango-oriented activities are available right on your doorstep. Taking a scenic flight over the southern delta is a wonderful way to see classic Botswana wildlife and big game. There are game reserves, safari tours, boat cruises, and overnight camping are some of the few things to be enjoyed here.
Northern Botswana hosts the Okavango Delta, a vast inland delta, and it is known as the world’s largest intact delta. This region is renowned for its expansive grasslands, which flood seasonally, providing a rich habitat for animals. The Okavango River feeds it during the drier months. The fan-shaped delta is a network of papyrus-fringed stretches that connect open areas teeming with water lilies. The Moremi Game Reserve covers the eastern and central parts of the region. Here, dugout canoes manoeuvre past hippos, elephants and crocodiles. On dry land, wildlife includes lions, leopards, giraffes and rhinos.
The Greater Moremi Area encompasses the Moremi Game Reserve and the neighboring Khwai Concession in Botswana. This diverse region features a rich mosaic of landscapes, including mopane woodlands, floodplains, lagoons, papyrus-lined rivers, and acacia forests, which support an incredible array of wildlife. At the heart of the region lies the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which brings life to this unique ecosystem through seasonal floods and diverse habitats. The Greater Moremi Area is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity, with thriving wildlife populations including the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino—along with countless other species such as African wild dogs, hippos, zebras, giraffes, and a stunning variety of birdlife. For safari enthusiasts, this area offers some of the most authentic and rewarding wildlife experiences in Africa, where the beauty of the delta and the abundance of wildlife come together to create a truly unforgettable adventure.

Victoria Falls is an awe-inspiring sight of beauty located on the Zambezi River, serving as the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The massive basalt cliffs over which the falls thunder transform the Zambezi from a calm river into rapids that carve their way through dramatic gorges.

Visitors can enjoy activities such as swimming, bungee jumping, and zip-lining at the falls.
