Riding Safaris from the Delta to the Desert
From the floodplains of the Okavango Delta to the woodlands of Chobe National Park to the dry sands of the Kalahari and everywhere in between, the combination of diverse landscape and areas that are otherwise difficult to access make Botswana the perfect setting for the ultimate mobile safari.
Riding Safaris in the Okavango Delta
Riding in Botswana’s Okavango Delta is one of the most extraordinary horseback safari experiences in the world. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a lush oasis of winding waterways, open floodplains, palm islands, and vast grasslands teeming with wildlife. On horseback, you move quietly through herds of giraffe, zebra, elephant, and antelope, with the chance to encounter lion, leopard, and buffalo along the way. Days may include splashing through shallow channels, cantering across open plains, and ending with sundowners overlooking hippo-filled lagoons — all while staying in intimate, remote safari camps that blend adventure with comfort.
