Highlights

Mokoro Excursions

Embark on the safari adventure of a lifetime with your own private and experienced guide as you take to winding Delta waters in a mokoro – a traditional style African dug-out canoe. Every June, the whole area around the camp floods and turns the Okavango Delta into a labyrinth of lily-filled lagoons and streams where hippos fight for bathing rights, and crocodiles prey on unwary antelope. Calmly drifting through the byways created by the floodwaters makes for a truly magnificent experience that allows guests to get very close to some of the largest game both aquatic and land based, ensuring a surreal experience with memories to last a lifetime.

Game Drives

Experienced guides are always available to share their incredible wealth of wildlife knowledge as you traverse the Delta in modified, open 4×4 safari vehicles on morning and afternoon game drives. Sanctuary Chief’s Camp encompasses an abundance of indigenous game and vast aches of landscape with which to explore.  On the plains one may find the roaming lions that prey on the thousands of antelope, buffalo and zebra who live among the Delta flats year round.

Scenic flight over the Delta

Take to the sky in this quintessential aerial safari experience of a lifetime. Scenic flights involve flying west towards the permanent delta, exposing areas which are unreachable via conventional land and water based safari, showcasing the sheer enormity and magnitude of the Okavango Delta. Choose between 30, 45 or 60 minute tours in a one turbine Bell Jetranger helicopter with 3 seat capacity. This bespoke activity is offered on a year round basis. As this is a personalised activity, you may decide what time of day you wish to embark, however, early morning to late afternoon is recommended as to provide optimum lighting for photography. Preferred flight times can be requested on booking.
