Fly Airlink to Botswana
Sometimes known as the continent’s Last Eden, the Okavango Delta is a sparkling jewel in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. The safari town of Maun is your gateway to the Delta, and the perfect launch pad for travellers.
The maze of lagoons meanders around lush grasslands, groves and mopane forests. Explore the Delta in a mokoro, on foot, or in a game-viewing vehicle. You’ll see some of Africa’s most beautiful wildlife: the Delta is said to support
164 mammal species, 157 reptile species, and 540 bird species, promising visitors a safari experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
The Delta’s flood season coincides with southern Africa’s dry season, making it a haven for the more than 200 000 animals that migrate there between July and September. If you visit during flood season (June to August), you’ll be treated to enormous herds of elephants. The Delta is home to almost half of Africa’s elephant population at this time. You will likely see the other members of the Big 5, too: lions, leopards, rhinos and buffalo.
The Okavango Delta boasts world-class accommodation. Waterbased camps are ideal for tourists who wish to discover the secrets of the waterways and see birds, while land-based camps are perfect for visitors who are more interested in general game viewing. Should you wish to combine the best of both worlds, mixed-use camps cater for all travellers.
Fly Airlink, South Africa’s biggest privately owned regional airline, direct to Maun from Cape Town or Johannesburg and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday that promises to be filled with unforgettable moments.
You can also fly direct from Johannesburg to Kasane, for an African river safari in the north-eastern corner of Botswana. Kasane is the gateway to Chobe National Park, and is within easy reach of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The park is home to herds of elephants and buffaloes, as well as graceful antelopes, zebras, numerous bird species, and plenty of hippos.
Experience this landscape by boat and on land. Accommodation on the banks of the Chobe ranges from guesthouses and hotels to campsites and lodges.
Looking to add a beach – or Vic Falls – to your safari adventure? You can connect on a direct Airlink flight from Livingstone, Zambia, to Nelspruit KMIA and experience the Kruger Park, or you can fly from Nelspruit to Vilanculos in Mozambique, the gateway to Bazaruto and Benguerra islands.
