The Okavango Delta is a haven for Botswana’s wildlife, and is indeed one of the most celebrated safari regions of southern Africa because of its unique wetland ecosystems. Wildlife sightings include all of the well known favourites, plus some of the uniquely adapted species, such as red lechwe. Birdlife is particularly well documented in the area, with water birds like herons, storks, kingfishers, jacanas, crakes, and pygmy geese featuring heavily. Exploring at Gomoti Plains is done by game drive, motorised boat, mokoro, or on foot. Each offers a different way to enjoy the natural landscape and its inhabitants. Afternoon game drives morph into night drives, bringing the nocturnal creatures to the spotlight, and mornings can be spent walking in the footsteps of your local guide or cruising through the channels on a traditional dugout canoe.
