South Gate : tout pour préparer ton voyage
South Gate is your perfect gateway into the Okavango Delta if you are arriving from Maun. At South Gate you can immerse yourself in the breathtaking wilderness straight away without having to venture deep into the delta. If you are travelling on your own and perhaps only arrive later in the day, South Gate is the ideal choice for your first night in the delta.
Pourquoi tu vas adorer cet endroit
Start your safari in the classic Moremi area – Around South Gate you experience a varied landscape of mopane forests, open plains and lagoons.
Look for elephants – The region is considered a good area for elephant sightings and with a bit of luck offers you intense safari moments shortly after you enter.
Use South Gate as a practical starting point if you arrive late – If you only arrive from Maun in the afternoon you can stay overnight here and start your Moremi adventure directly the next morning.
