Mogogelo Safari Activities

The Okavango Delta needs no introduction – it is considered one of the world’s rare mega diverse regions and hosts an incredible number of species across the board. Mogogelo is in a private concession on the eastern edge of the Delta, bordering Moremi Game Reserve and offers a piece of this world-famous wilderness to guests who can explore under the expert lead of local Motswana guides whose natural heritage this is. Operating on a private concession means guests will be able to do night drives, and during the dry season, walking safaris are a possibility for those who’d like to explore on foot. 

Heading out on safari in the game viewer after dark brings the night life of the Okavango Delta into focus. Night drives are only possible in the privacy of a concession, making this a sought after and special activity at Mogogelo. Leopards and lions are more active at night, while nocturnal creatures like civet, porcupine, honey badger, and jackal are likely to be seen, so this is one not to be missed.

A scenic flight over the Okavango Delta is an exceptional experience. Rainwater travels from the Angolan highlands before spreading over Kalahari sands to form the world’s largest inland delta. This expansive wetland teems with wildlife dependent on access to permanent water sources offered by the Okavango. Expect to witness incredible panoramic vistas of this wetland along with an abundance of wildlife sightings including hippos, elephants, lechwe, buffalo, giraffe, impala and perhaps even some predators.

Halfway through your scenic flight the pilot will find a deserted palm island where you can enjoy a peaceful break. Once on the ground, champagne will be popped for you to enjoy alongside views from the ground and further information about the delta from your charismatic pilot. When you have quenched your thirst, you will have another opportunity to enjoy the aerial perspective on your way back to Maun or the camp.
