My preferred: due to the river, no big wildlife, but a real possibility to walk in the bush (fantastic way to get the feel of Africa) and go with the boats to see many hippo, crocodiles and fantasmagoric birds.

The flight with a small Cessna over the Okavango Delta was one of the highlights of our trip. We spotted lots of wildlife in and around the water.

Visiting the Okavango Delta is an amazing, unforgettable experience
Highlights:
Our guide. That man worked his butt off to make sure things went right, even when every other turn seemed to present some other problem. He turned the "bad" stuff into just a blip on our vacation timeline.
The Okavango Delta. The whole trip was amazing. Our campsite was only available by "polers" pushing us along in Makoros along hippo-created paths along the reeds. SO amazing. And the polers were friendly and fun and awesome to spend time with.
Seeing elephants. And zebras. And rhinos... no glass or fence separation. Just us with the animals. Not that that meant better photos of said experiences, however. We kept cracking jokes that people who went to a local zoo would

have better pictures that we did, but only because those visitors had convenient protection from being attacked. ;-)The helicopter ride (without helicopter doors!!) just after we exited the delta. The ride was an add-on but 100% worth it.
Seriously. I don't think there was a single place who wouldn't bend over backwards to help others.
The trip far, far exceeded my expectations.
Large variety of animals and abundant bird life and limited amenities.
Probably one of the last truely completely remote wildlife destinations in Africa !
Great viewing of big cats, various antelopes, baboons, giraffe, and elephants. The saddle-billed storks and lilac-breasted rollers were stunning.
