Go in the wet seasons when you can go in a mokoro canoe down the canals the elephants create by walking through the tall grasses. Amazing place to be. Full review by M6983QDmarcom

Hi! We are going to the Okavango in July and are trying to decide on a mokoro company, a plane/helicopter company etc. We are looking for a great experience, but also bang for our buck (not looking to take expensive tours with huge profit margins for rich companies). Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for any help you can provide! Matt

Hi Matt, July is a pretty busy month as the floodwaters have arrived but I would suggest a) you can base yourself in Maun and stay at a Backpackers’s and do your activities from there or b) depending on your budget ( I know you don’t want to spend too much!) but if you could look at flying/ driving into a camp from Maun possibly an overland trip with a local operator? Rates are good and you will enjoy. Please let me know...thanks

We booked through Natural World Safaris (NWS). Letaka Safaris ran the actual safari in Botswana. Look at their web sites for info and ideas. NWS has a fantastic website. Ours was a camping safari, pit toilet and bucket showers. But gourmet meals and unbelievable access to the wildlife. We were always viewing wildlife. If your goal is seeing the animals of Botswana, a camping safari is the best option. For me it was very exhausting but I would do it again in a heartbeat!
