Tips for Planning Your Okavango Delta Retreat

Planning a trip to the Okavango Delta requires some thought. Here are practical tips to help you prepare:

1. Choose the Right Season: The dry season (May to October) is best for wildlife viewing. The wet season (November to April) brings lush greenery and bird breeding.

2. Pack Light and Smart: Bring lightweight clothes, a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Don’t forget binoculars and a camera. We have a splash pool to enjoy

3. Book Early: The delta is popular, and lodges fill up fast. Reserve your spot well in advance.

4. Respect the Environment: Follow guidelines from your guides. Avoid littering and keep noise low.
