You'll marvel at the environment on the approx 40-min flight, as you watch it change from the lush Chobe riverfront, through the scrub of the Savute to the jewel of Botswana’s crown —the Okavango Delta. The inland delta once flowed to the sea, but now the rains that fall on the Angolan Highlands follow the same course but with no escape. They settle on the flat Kalahari sand, forming a myriad of channels, marshes, lakes, and islands.
Upon arrival at the bush airstrip, you will be met by your guide and taken to Obona Moremi Lodge. You'll settle into camp or head out on a safari with your guide.
