By air - International flights from Europe and South Africa which fly into Gaborone link with local flights to Maun and Kasane, from where all lodges and camps in the northern wilderness area can be accessed. Direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Maun are however the most popular way of experiencing the northern wilderness of Botswana.
Light aircraft transfers between lodges are included in our package prices when you are visiting multiple lodges.
By road – the road network in Botswana that links all the major centres is well maintained and easy to use. Roads from the neighbouring countries provide easy access into Botswana with no problems associated with border crossings.
When travelling by road in Botswana it has to be taken into account that most roads in Botswana travel through subsistence farming areas and wilderness areas and thus stray animals and wildlife can be encountered at any time. It is therefore advisable not to drive after sunset on any of the roads in Botswana due to the hazards posed by the animals.
By boat - in the permanent water areas of the Okavango Delta the only way to move from place to place is by motorboat as there are no roads. Boat transfers between lodges are included when you book any of our packages that include multiple lodges in the Delta.
By makoro – the traditional form of transport in the Delta is the dugout canoe. Although the local populace use them for fishing, reed harvesting and short haul transport, you can enjoy a serene sunset ride at Delta lodges that offer such a pass time. These boats were originally constructed out of the trunks of certain trees. However their 3 year lifespan has a negative impact on a sustainable ecology. These days the makoros are manufactured from molded fibre glass to prevent degradation of the indigenous forests. |
