PH Travel | North Island, Botswana

Safari Hideaway!

Given North Island’s location, game viewing options are some of the most rewarding in Botswana, whether sightings are from the comfort of your game vehicle, in the water or on a scenic helicopter flight. But it’s the gentle mokoro trips that traverse lily-filled channels or slow boat ‘meanders’ through one of the most unique and fragile wetlands in the world that sets an Okavango Delta safari apart. Quietly observing animals and abundant birdlife from low-level mokoros splicing through crystal-clear waters is an unexpectedly humbling and thrilling experience – often with a good measure of adrenaline thrown in, especially when buffalo or elephant congregate in their numbers to drink nearby. Witness the wildest grasslands, with the largest concentration of lions frequently on the hunt for buffalo, alongside exotic palm-strewn islands; shimmering flood plains alive with leaping lechwe; deeper waters loved by hippos or shorelines dotted with basking crocs. Forested clusters of ebony, leadwood, wild fig and mangosteen trees often play host to leopard, not to mention over 350 species of bird recorded here.
