      TravelerWritten May 2024

      Our intended travel to the Okavango Delta was either in December 2024 or January 2025. The months of December, January, February and March are seldom recommended for travel to the Okavango Delta as they are the wettest months of the year.

    • Drifters Adventure ToursOperatorWritten May 2024

      Okay, that is great news I will be able to give you the dates and the rates by end of May beginning of June.
