Flights from Moremi Game Reserve into the Okavango Delta are short, just 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your camp. In true safari style, you’ll land on one of the delta’s many small, sandy airstrips, discreetly tucked between palm islands and floodplains and serving a handful of exclusive lodges. These light aircraft transfers are as much part of the experience as the stay itself. There are a few practicalities to keep in mind: luggage is usually limited to around 20 kilograms per person, and soft-sided bags are essential. From above, the Delta unfolds like a living mosaic – islands, channels and wildlife scattered below – and before you know it, you’re touching down and being welcomed by your driver for the final transfer to camp.
