Outstanding area, especially if you decide to take the unique experience of a mokoro tour. But if you want to see the thousands of animals living in this area you'd better take a scenic flight (flight can be easily booked in Maun)

The delta is beautiful, scenery wise it is amazing. We didn't see as many animals though because it's mostly water there and when we were on foot the animals would run from us. You are able to get a lot closer to them in a truck.

Other than crocodiles and hippos, land animals are hidden by the papyrus lining the banks of the delta. Abundant birdlife.

It's not really a "safari" destination, but a great destination for river enthusiasts. Elephants, hippos, monitor lizzards and spider nests gallore!

The delta is teeming with game and birds and there is never a moment when you are not surrounded by the wonderful wildlife and amazing scenery

Well developed but still authentic bush.

Beautiful scenery and great bush vibe. Mokoro's was great but limit your trip on mokoro's to max 1h for all the bugs in between the weeds.

although it is very busy with tourists in private cars, the Delta is still quite and beautiful. Saw as many animals both trips.

It is a very beautiful place by the unique nature and should be stored with passion.

The Okavango is a beautiful place, and there's nothing like a boat ride through all the twisting waterways where crocodiles lurk and elephants munch the fibrous stalks on shore. I think the high season (July-August) is probably not the best time for birders to visit here -- I imagine there's more bird life during the migratory seasons.
