What you'll do

As the annual Okavango floods subside, drying pools are left throughout the Central Okavango, exposing thousands of fish. This is a remarkable time for seeing water birds in abundance, as they congregate around the many fish traps in the delta to eat their full. Hundreds of species are there to be seen, including the spectacular Fish Eagle and many 'lifers'.
