Botswana - From Maun to the Okavango Delta

In the fifth largest city in Botswana, Maun, an airplane ride is offered to better appreciate the impressive Okavango Delta. With the right atmospheric conditions, it becomes possible to assess the magnitude of this wonder of Nature, where the intricate system of channels and islands becomes noticeable, with elephants and herds of buffalo and hippos parading, far away. From Maun it is also possible to reach the Okavango Delta aboard a traditional mokoro, still widely used by local people. As we slide into these calm waters, we have the feeling that we have been removed from this world of constant agitation and noise to suddenly realize not only the strength of Nature, but the importance of silence. Although this option includes entertainment, it also consists of a real trip inside ourselves. Before leaving Maun for the Elephant Sands hotel, be sure to take a trip to the Moremi Reserve to enjoy a safari.

Close to Nata, Elephant Sands is famous for the experience it provides, consisting of a bush lodge with several ponds and that thanks to them attracts countless animals that cross the park and come to drink fresh water. From one moment to the next, we see the arrival of majestic elephants moving in their slow, safe and imposing stride to the ponds to drink. All of this happens even a few meters from us, who are absolutely captivated and look for words to comment on this rich and magnificent show.
