On foot, you may encounter elephants, buffalo, red lechwe, and various antelope species while enjoying up-close sightings of the Delta’s incredible birdlife, from African Fish Eagles to vibrant bee-eaters and kingfishers.
With no engine noise—just the sounds of the wild—a bush walk offers a peaceful yet exhilarating experience. Available as part of your houseboat safari, it’s a must for nature lovers.

SCENIC FLIGHT
A scenic flight over the Okavango Delta is an unforgettable way to take in its breathtaking beauty. From 500 feet above, you’ll witness a mesmerizing landscape of winding waterways, lush islands, and abundant wildlife—a sight that truly showcases the vastness and magic of the world’s largest inland delta.
For an even more thrilling experience, take to the skies in a “doors-off” helicopter flight with Helicopter Horizons. Every passenger is guaranteed a window seat, offering unrestricted views and incredible photo opportunities over some of the most pristine and untouched areas of the Delta. The Robinson R44 is renowned for its reliability and agility, making it perfect for exploring this remarkable wilderness from above.
We partner with Mack Air for fixed-wing scenic flights and Helicopter Horizons for an exhilarating aerial adventure. Book your flight and witness the Delta like never before!
OKAVANGO DELTA
FISHING
The Okavango Delta is a paradise for anglers, home to 71 fish species, including the legendary tiger fish, tilapia, and catfish. Its waters share a deep connection with the Zambezi, echoing ancient river paths.
From September to December, the Barbel Run ignites a fishing spectacle like no other—a frenzied feast that lures in Africa’s fiercest freshwater fighter, the tiger fish. Every fly-fisherman should experience this heart-pounding challenge at least once.
March-April brings prime bream (tilapia) fishing, though mosquitoes are plenty, while August-September offers perfect conditions for Nembwe. Fishing is closed in January and February.
To make the most of your adventure on our houseboats, we recommend extra fishing boats—three anglers plus a skipper per boat ensures the ultimate experience.
