Get up close with wildlife in Botswana, where natural encounters unfold around the clock and the ways to witness them are as varied as the landscape.

Start your journey with a serene paddle through the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro (canoe), spotting rare wildlife. This quiet, gondola-style transport barely disturbs the flora and fauna — ideal for glimpsing smaller creatures, stealthy cheetahs, and endangered black and white rhinos. Fly over the Delta from the gateway town of Maun to take in the vastness of the oasis below, or saddle up for a thrilling horse-riding safari.

At dusk, take a cruiser to watch elephants and buffalo on the shore bathed in golden light, with Botswana claiming its place among the world’s finest places to watch the sunset. Then, after dark, join a guided night walk to discover the country’s fascinating nocturnal nature beneath a starlit sky.

Today you have another day to explore the area around the camp and the delta.
