Situated in the northwestern corner of Botswana, the Okavango Delta is a World Heritage Site as it is the largest inland delta in the world. The magnificent Okavango River sprawls out over the dry sands of the Kalahari Desert forming this flourishing waterlogged oasis featuring countless meandering waterways and crystal-clear lagoons studded with water lilies, as well as fertile floodplains and reeded islands inhabited with abundant wildlife. The Okavango Delta stretches over an impressive 15000 square kilometres providing several wonderful activities such as game viewing, fishing, bird watching or taking an authentic guided Mokoro excursion through this wetland paradise in a traditional dugout canoe. Commonly spotted animals include lion, rhino, leopard, giraffe, hippos, elephants, crocodiles and countless bird species.

Two days to experience the game viewing activities on offer at Khwai Private Reserve. Discover the very best of the Okavango Delta on game drives, walking safaris, and fantastic water-based activities.
The floodplains surrounding Tuludi are more than just visually stunning—they provide an ideal habitat for large herds of elephants and buffalo that roam freely through the open grasslands. While the Khwai River is the primary water source in the region, a network of winding waterways extends across the plains, drawing in wildlife from all directions. Zebra, giraffe, antelope, and a variety of other plains game are a common sight.
However, it’s the predators that truly command attention here. The density of lions, leopards, and cheetahs in the area is exceptional, offering an opportunity for thrilling sightings. As evening approaches, watch for lions on the prowl, leopards lounging in the shade, and cheetahs patrolling their territory! Remarkably diverse even by Okavango standards, the region’s rich birdlife adds another layer of magic. Look out for unique species such as the long-toed lapwing, black and slaty egrets, and wattled cranes, while the surrounding woodlands host a completely different array of avian life.
This morning you will be met by the lodge representative and transferred to the airstrip. Depart Tuludi by Mack Air shared light aircraft flight to Maun International Airport (flying time approx. 35 minutes). Upon arrival at the Maun International Airport connect with your onward flight.
