Okavango Horse Safaris are highly personalised safaris run by Barney and PJ Bestelink in the remote central region of Botswana's Okavango Delta. This vast inland delta, one of Southern Africa's most enigmatic river systems, lies like an emerald jewel on the edge of the great Kalahari desert, an astonishing maze of papyrus lined waterways, meadows and woodland rich in birdlife and game. On horseback you can venture further into the delta and get closer to the wildlife than you can on foot. Imagine yourself mounted high above the long grass and reeds watching great herds of zebra, wildebeest and lechwe as they move across golden floodplains and the breathtaking excitement when your silent progress along game trails used only by the animals brings you upon a herd of buffalo or a family group of elephant. As the blood red sun drops into the black of night, the hyena'' whoop-de-whoop and the lion's roar accompany your fireside reverie and a hippo's watery grunt punctuates your dreams. This is as close to nature as you will ever get. Click here to view our Fact Sheet. Okavango Horse Safaris Private Bag 23 Maun Botswana.

Cantering
alongside the elegant motion of a giraffe is an experience you will
never forget and the only sounds you will hear, as the wind soughs
though the long grass and rattles the palms, are the fisheagle's
haunting cry, the splash of a disappearing crocodile and the faraway
drumming of hooves.
