The easiest way to visit the Okavango Delta is by charter plane from Maun International Airport (MUB) and, to a lesser extent, Kasane International Airport (BBK). These are also the country’s most common points of entry for people visiting northern Botswana. The eastern and southern parts of the Delta can be accessed directly from Maun by 4x4 vehicle. The drive usually takes 2 to 4 hours*.

If you’re on a road trip in Botswana, it is possible to drive from Chobe National Park to the Okavango Delta, through the Savuti and Khwai regions, either via the Sand Ridge Road or the Marsh Road. The distance from Chobe Riverfront is about 600km/370mi and the driving time is at least 7 hours*.

It is customary for your tour operator to take care of charter-flight bookings between parks as part of your tour package. There are no scheduled flights to the Okavango Delta, although there are regular charter flights with Wilderness Air and Mack Air, among others.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
