Seasonal water camps lie in the part of the Okavango Delta which floods seasonally from June to October, depending on the rains. During this time, they offer the full range of water-based safari activities. And yet. all year round they offer 4×4 game drives in open vehicles as well as game walks.
The waters of the Okavango Delta offers a unique boat-based safari experience. Choose between the silence and gentle pace of a poled mokoro, or the faster pace of a comfortable shaded motorboat. A network of waterways, feathery papyrus reeds, and diverse animals, large and small, are waiting to be discovered.
Some seasonal water camps are more water-orientated (such as Kanana Camp) and some are more land-orientated such as Shinde Camp. Some are even on private concessions within the Moremi Game Reserve, such as Chiefs Camp, which as accesses to seasonal flood waters on the edge of the Island.
Exactly when each seasonal water camp can offer mokoro trips or boat excursions varies from camp to camp. And also by season, depending on the strength of the Okavango flood. Plus the water channels are continually forging new routes.
The Okavango seasonal camps are a good option if you don't have time to visit more than one camp in the Delta.
