There are several local lion prides and leopards, genet cats and hyena are in abundance.

SCENIC FLIGHTS OVER THE DELTA These scenic flights involve flying west towards the permanent delta, exposing areas which are unreachable by vehicle or boat and showcasing the sheer enormity of the Okavango Delta.

Mokoros, local dugout canoes, offer a different perspective of the bush in the company of a highly trained local guide.
