O Bona Delta Excursions
The House Boat “Ngwesi”
The Nature You Love. The Comfort You Need.
Your Okavango Delta Excursion
We are offering fully furnished, ‘Old Africa’ Style houseboat for hire in the panhandle of the beautiful Okavango Delta in Northern Botswana.
The Okavango Delta is an idyllic wetland in the middle of a desert, aptly called ‘The Jewel of the Kalahari’, home to the most astonishing proliferation of bird, animal and aquatic life. The Houseboat offers the rare opportunity to experience this wetland paradise in comfort, as you float along the waterways in peace viewing the magnificent bird and animal life.
At O Bona Delta Excursions’ House Boat, you will spend your days cruising the waterways, fishing and relaxing in unique serenity. Guests enjoy exceptional birding and angling opportunities as well as a chance to view the rare sitatunga antelope, or watch elephants feeding on palm fringed islands. You can try your hand at catching the mighty tiger-fish or go for bream and enjoy your catch for dinner.
The hushed silence makes it all more peaceful and the knowledge that you are in deepest Africa make your experience utterly compelling.
Activities
Although relaxing on board satisfies most of our guests we offer many activities to satisfy those who like their holidays to be busy. You can enjoy fantastic fly and sport fishing (not available throughout the year), relax whilst being ‘poled’ by your own guide in a dugout canoe, do a village tour, or a spectacular scenic flight, or if you have time you can camp overnight or even undertake a multi-day adventure that will see you travelling through the Okavango’s varied habitats.
