Go in search of little bee-eaters at Barbara’s Island

On Barbara’s Island you can see little bee-eaters, rare Pel's fishing owls and passing elephants and giraffes on the Khwai River.

What you can experience here

Barbara’s Island lies between Leopard Lagoon and the Khwai River and is a rewarding place for watching animals and birds. In the branches of the bushes you can spot small little bee-eaters that go hunting for insects from their perch in the mornings and afternoons. They always return to their favourite branch, which makes them perfect for photographing. With a bit of luck you may see a rare Pel's fishing owl in the trees along the riverbank. It is estimated that there are only around 100 pairs in the Okavango Delta. Elephants and giraffes also often pass through this area.
