Itinerary

Experience the magic of an Okavango Delta safari on horseback. This five-day horseback safari makes for an exciting and natural safari experience, allowing you to get closer to game than ever before. When the annual flooding leaves vast areas of the Delta inaccessible to vehicles horseback becomes the best way to explore the area with as little damage and disruption to the natural environment as possible.

  1. Fly to Maun

  2. Days 1-6: Okavango Delta and Moremi

    Your exciting five-day horse safari will be spent at Macatoo Camp in the Okavango Delta. On arrival into Maun you’ll be met and transferred by light aircraft into camp. After you have settled in you will be briefed by your guide before you head to the barn for an evening ride. Slow-paced and peaceful, this ride is the perfect opportunity to take in the beautiful landscape of the Okavango Delta and to enjoy a wonderful African sunset. On your return you will have time for a hot shower before a candle-lit dinner is served by the fire. For your upcoming days they will generally follow a similar plan of heading off on a morning ride which may involve some galloping across dried flood plains, swimming through waters, or even pushing through tall grass to get to some plains game. You will head back to camp for a hearty lunch and nap if needed before heading back out on an evening ride which includes an obligatory sundowner stop-off somewhere in the bush. 

    Although day-by-day you will be following a similar pattern guides are on hand to take you to new areas of the Delta and the opportunity to come face-to-face with big game. Dinner is usually served in a different location every night and one night could even be spent in a treehouse under the African night sky. We recommend on your final day to take a helicopter ride to see the Delta from a brand-new angle – a perfect opportunity for some incredible photos.

    Accommodation: Macatoo Camp (5 nights)

  3. Fly home from Maun
