Okavango Delta Explorations

This little zebra says it all — the Okavango in its green season has a spring in its step. New life. Fresh energy. A quiet sense of abundance. Pictured on the Kwara reserve, a vast and wonderfully varied reserve in the eastern Okavango.

A quiet pause between tack and trail in the heart of the Delta. Since 2025, Gareth & Alex have been at the helm of Okavango Horse Safaris. After many years working in camp, they were the natural choice to carry forward the legacy begun by PJ & Barney Bestelink, the pioneers of riding safaris in Botswana. Same spirit, same exceptional horses—fresh momentum for the journeys ahead.

Exploring the waterways of the Okavango by Mokoro (the traditional dug-out canoe) is the ultimate slow safari - an incredibly peaceful experience allowing you to connect with the sights, sounds and smells of the environment. Mostly the focus is on the smaller creatures which call the wetlands home – but occasionally the bigger animals return to steal the show! A wonderful picture shared with us by our recent travelers to the Khwai Private Reserve. Thank you!
