Bordering the Kalahari Desert, the famous Okavango Delta referred to as the ‘Jewel of Kalahari’ gives you a real treat of how refreshing it is taking a trip with a mokoro canoe. The Delta stretches to about 15 000 square kilometres of the Kalahari Desert in northern Botswana.

The beauty of Okavango Delta cannot be told in one sentence because it is endowed by all that mother nature has to offer. It has 530 species of birds and is home to the rare African Elephants.
