Spend the next two days with morning and afternoon game viewing activities. Embark on a thrilling early morning or afternoon game drive and encounter a wide range of birds, aquatic wildlife and mammals including elephant, buffalo and big cats. Depending on water levels, game viewing by water can be amazing. Glide silently on a traditional dugout canoe, a mode of transport used by locals for centuries. Explore the shallow, clear waters, drifting past brilliant waterlilies and papyrus grasses, reaching areas inaccessible by boat. Witness brightly coloured frogs, kingfishers, dragonflies or elephants feasting on the reeds. The chance to explore open waters is a unique feature of an Okavango Delta safari. Cover more ground and delve deeper into the landscape, with a chance to spot an even greater range of wildlife. Embark on a sunset barge cruise for hypnotic views as you sip a sundowner.

Depending on the season, you may also catch the second largest migration of zebra in Africa.
Get closer to the life of the Chobe National Park than ever before. Connect to the wildlife at eye-level from the lodge's unique viewing hide, overlooking the watering hole.
