Rank : 9.5 (average on 18 votes)

Coordinates : -19.352611,22.884521 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Everything and more!

Recommended equipment : Difficult to recommend the suitable ettrezzatura ... Definitely a big lens, at least a 300 with TC. In summary I would say that the opportunity to photograph are such that it is best to bring all the windows available, from 10mm to 1000mm ... Given the problems of weight on the plane say that the stand is not indispensable, most of the shots are made from the jeep freehand.

Best months : From late May to October: the dry season, a little water and the animals gather in the vicinity of the few remaining wells, not very warm day, almost cool at night. From November to April: plenty of water, many trails impassable, the animals are more dispersed, hot. Attention, throughout the year the area is very high risk of Malaria! PROTECT YOURSELF!

How to get there : The nearest town is Maun. You can get there by flying from Gaborone (capital of Botswana) or Johannesburg (South Africa). Botswana is a vast wilderness with many places to see, then rate it seriously hire a jeep to move independently. In this regard, I propose two interesting sites: 1) in Windhoek in Namibia http://www.ascocarhire.com 2) in Johannesburg in South Africa http://www.bushlore.com. The rental jeepponi is a practice widely used in those parts, there are many possibilities, these two are tested and reliable.

Visits : The Okavango Delta is a unique wetland park but an entire region about the size of Lombardy. The park is best known and the Moremi National Park. Of course you pay the entry (in Africa nothing is for free ...). Inside are vazie overnight accommodation, lodges, camping, tent camps, etc ... Careful to follow the rules, fines raining from everywhere. Even visitors are advised to report other users unruly. In other words, the Boers never miss a chance to denounce us Latins ... notoriously reluctant to follow the rules ... (Eh eh eh)

Notes : Nowhere else in the world is comparable to the Okavango Delta. Imagine an entire river, the Okavango in fact, that does not reach the sea but is divided into an infinite number of streams that are then absorbed by the soil forming a huge wetland where all the animals are concentrated during the dry season around the few pools remained. A true spectacle of nature! It is not possible to describe the Okavango Delta in a few lines, you just have to go and see ...
