Boat Safaris in Botswana

Despite its location in the heart of the arid Kalahari, Botswana boasts a great deal of both permanent and seasonal water, most of which falls under some kind of conservation.

Water-based activities include game viewing, birding and fishing.

The northern Chobe River offers year-round river activities from its many nearby Chobe lodges - from private motorboats to large pontoons or popular 'booze cruises'.

The Okavango Delta is the place for motorboats and mokoros - the local version of a canoe - but it should be remembered that water levels fluctuate wildly and some of the more land-based camps may not be able to offer water activities throughout the year so head for a water-based lodge.

May to September is the period when the water levels in the Delta are at their highest while the Panhandle region of the Delta is home to permanent deep water - and some legendary fishing.

The Linyanti Region also offers both boating and canoes, but again this may be subject to the time of year.
