Okavango Delta Scenic Flight: A Bucket List Experience

Have you been on an Okavango Delta scenic flight? Travelers have become accustomed to all types of safaris in Botswana. From Mokoro safaris in the Delta to quad-bike safaris on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, but few can say that they have experienced a sky safari.

Ker & Downey® Africa thrives on bringing you authentic, unforgettable experiences, which is why we want you to experience every corner of Africa, from all angles. An Okavango Delta scenic flight is a bucket list experience. It gives you the opportunity to take in the vastness and beauty of the Okavango Delta from a bird’s eye view. With a clear view from the sky, this scenic flight is a photographer’s dream come true and also the most time efficient way to explore Botswana. For the best scenic experience, flights are taken in the morning and late afternoon when the weather conditions are calm and the wildlife is abundant on the plains of the Delta. Be sure to look out for hippos in the waterways or herds of elephant meandering through the delta. If you are lucky you will also be able to spot buffalo in the shade of the trees.
