A few reasons why you should visit the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
Every season in the Delta has something remarkable to offer its guests.

The winter months bring along cold evenings and warmer days, the lack of rain during this time drives a large concentration of wildlife around water sources which make for some memorable safari sightings.

Along comes summer which tends to get very hot but also very wet, daily afternoon thundershowers paint the Okavango landscape with beautiful blues and greens and present travellers with amazing migratory birds.
