Okavango Delta
This relatively new program, run by Ker & Downey, places an emphasis on walking and mokoro safaris across the delta floodplains. It’s the sort of thing that rewards fit travellers, but with that said, the rest camps are still impressively posh – the theme is old Africa exploration, but we doubt Livingstone ever laid his bushy beard on these soft sheets.
Family safaris, too, are an important part of the Ker & Downey package.
