Why safari in the Okavango Deltas private reserves?
Protecting the Okavango Delta’s amazing delta environment is the Moremi Wildlife Reserve and, around that, a network of excellent private ‘safari reserves’, or ‘concessions’. Most of these Delta reserves contain a couple of small, private safari camps. Guests arrive at these by air, and they offer great safari activities. In contrast to the public game parks, these private reserves have four main advantages: a) The guides are allowed to drive off-road whilst on safari when searching for and following game. b) The guides can conduct night-drives on safari, allowing you to see the nocturnal animals – for example, leopard are more frequently seen around dusk and at night. c) Some reserves offer walking safaris in the Okavango Delta; these are not allowed in the national park. d) These private safari reserves are private: you’ll see few other people on safari here; this is a real luxury in such a pristine area!
