Winter safaris run from May to October. Jackets, sweaters and gloves are often needed in the early morning and late evening, but temperatures warm up to short-sleeve weather around noon. They tuck a water bottle filled with very warm water under the covers. It works quite well, even when the temperature drops to around freezing. Getting to the Okavango Delta is relatively easy.
Flights usually take under an hour.
Visitors to the Okavango Delta should be prepared for an adventure and perhaps some misadventures. It had been a great day, but now everyone was hungry. It was pitch dark. We took a shortcut that took us through a flooded area and over a dirt road that was covered in about 2 feet of water. No problem for our Land Cruiser, I thought.
