The Okavango Delta in Botswana is one of the world's greatest game viewing destinations. The vast Delta is home to countless animals, plants and birdlife, so a safari here is always well rewarded.
While flying directly from Johannesburg to Maun is a popular choice, it is also possible to get to the Okavango via Victoria Falls. A combination safari of Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta makes for an amazing African safari. You could also throw in a Kruger Park luxury safari or some sun, sand and sea in Mozambique.
Your Rhino Africa consultant will be more than happy to help plan your Okavango safari, whether you choose to combine it with another choice or keep it as an independant safari.
Air Botswana flies daily from Johannesburg to Maun. By combining a trip to the Okavango with Chobe & Victoria Falls, many people fly into Victoria Falls or Livingstone.
Maun
To get to the Okavango Delta most people travel through Maun. Maun receives daily flights from Johannesburg and flights three times a week from Cape Town and Windhoek. From here you are usually met by a representative and transferred to a small Cessna 206 flight. These ‘puddle hoppers’ fly between the various camps like taxis and drop off guests, luggage and even camp supplies.
Luggage Limit
The small planes means that there is a very strict luggage limit. Limited to 12kg per person in soft sided duffel bags. Most of the lodges have laundry facilities, hairdryers, guest amenities, and very relaxed dress codes which means that there is no need to pack the kitchen sink. Speak to your Rhino Africa consultant as we often recommend leaving luggage in Johannesburg Airport.
Combine the Okavango with Chobe & Victoria Falls
Many itineraries combine an Okavango Safari with Chobe and Victoria Falls. This usually means flying into Maun and flying out of Victoria Falls or flying into Victoria Falls and flying out of Maun.
