Chobe and the Okavango Delta: 7-Day Accessible Safari

7 days · By road and charter flight · Chobe riverfront, Okavango Delta

Botswana’s two great wetlands: three nights among Chobe’s elephants, then a light aircraft into the Okavango Delta for mokoro trips and island walks. For confident travellers who want true wilderness.

Who it works for

• Physical (wheelchair users and slow walkers): With support (the mokoro needs a transfer into a low dugout, and island walks are on sand; Chobe is by boat and vehicle)
• Visual (blind and low vision): With support (guides describe the channels, and the delta’s birdsong and water sounds are rich)
• Hearing (Deaf and hard of hearing): Yes (the experience is visual; written briefs and an interpreter on request)
• Hidden (autism, fatigue, chronic illness): Yes (small camps and quiet days on the water)
