Route
Discover Botswana’s green side on an adventure in the Okavango Delta
22 days · 2,596 km · Round trip
This route takes you deep into the heart of green Botswana, with intense nights in the middle of untouched nature and far away from any infrastructure. For ten days you are completely on your own – no supermarket, no petrol station, just you and the wilderness.
Experience the Okavango Delta with its water-rich vegetation, rare animal species and authentic bush camps, before you head into wild Savuti and on to the lively Chobe riverfront with its elephant herds, predators and unique river landscape.
The return journey via Namibia’s green Caprivi Strip rounds off the adventure. Ideal for experienced self-drivers who are not put off by true wilderness and deep sand sections.
Best time to go: May – October
