Scenic Helicopter & Charter Flights over the Okavango Delta

Okavango Delta (departing from Maun or bush airstrips) 15-60 Minutes

Experience Overview

No perspective on the Okavango Delta is more dramatic or breathtaking than from the air. Scenic helicopter and charter flights reveal the full magnificence of this UNESCO World Heritage Site — an inland delta of crystalline channels, floodplains shimmering with reflected sky, hippo-filled lagoons, and islands carpeted in fig and palm trees. From altitude, elephant herds appear as orderly processions threading through golden grass, while aerial views expose the geometric beauty of channels and oxbows that are invisible from ground level. Helicopter flights are particularly exhilarating, as the aircraft can hover, descend, and land in remote locations for bush walks or picnics. Charter flights in light aircraft connect remote camps and simultaneously deliver aerial sightseeing. Experienced pilots double as informative guides, identifying wildlife, geographical features, and ecological zones throughout the flight. A quintessential luxury safari add-on and a must-do for photography enthusiasts.

Absolutely. Elephant herds, hippo pools, buffalo, and even lion are clearly visible from the air, especially during dry season when vegetation is lower.
