Located deep within the Kalahari Desert of Botswana, the Okavango Delta is one of the world’s largest inland river systems (a patchwork of river channels, lagoons, islands and floodplains). The area is a magnet for birds, large and small animals as well as a vast variety of fauna and flora. This creates an idyllic safari destination for most parts of the year.
African Horseback Safaris (horse riding safaris in Africa), are one of the most unique and exciting horseback adventures in the world and one of the best way to do safari.
