Discover the Magic of the Okavango Delta

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Maun, which is the main gateway to the Okavango Delta. From Maun, drive northeast on the A3 road for about 120 kilometers. You will reach the entrance of the Okavango Delta. Be prepared for a potential entrance fee, which can range from $20 to $30 per person, depending on the specific access point. Once inside, follow the designated routes to your chosen lodge or campsite, as some areas may require a 4x4 vehicle due to rough terrain.

• Public Transportation

  To reach the Okavango Delta via public transportation, first take a bus or shuttle from major cities like Gaborone or Kasane to Maun. The bus journey can cost between $15 to $30 and takes approximately 10-12 hours from Gaborone. Once in Maun, you can find local taxis or shuttles offering transport to the entrance of the Delta. Expect to pay around $10 to $15 for this short trip. Be aware of the schedules, as they may vary, and it's advisable to confirm timings in advance.

• Boat Transfer

  For a more scenic route into the Delta, consider booking a boat transfer from Maun. This option is typically arranged through lodges or tour operators. Prices for a boat transfer can vary significantly, usually around $50 to $100 per person, depending on the distance and service included. This method allows you to experience the stunning waterways of the Delta, but ensure you schedule this in advance as availability can be limited.

• Guided Tour

  Another option is to book a guided tour that includes transportation from your current location to the Okavango Delta. These tours often provide a comprehensive experience, including accommodation, meals, and activities in the Delta. Prices for guided tours can range from $200 to $600 per person for a multi-day package, depending on the level of luxury and inclusions. Research various operators and book in advance to secure your spot.
