"Rising water levels in the green season make this vast delta especially appealing for water-based activities: boat safaris and traditional mokoro canoe trips become prime ways to explore, while river-facing tents provide close-up wetland views and photographers benefit from relaxed schedules and dramatic, water-filled scenery." - Maija de Rijk-Uys
"In Botswana, the author worked on safaris that taught hard lessons about bush travel and wildlife photography—from strict bush‑plane luggage limits and dusty conditions to unused wide‑angle lenses and tripods and the very real risk of running out of memory card space—making it a destination that rewards thorough preparation and practiced camera techniques." - Lauren Breedlove Lauren Breedlove Lauren Breedlove is a New York-based travel writer, photographer, and content creator who focuses on off-the-beaten-path outdoor adventures.

"This stop visits the world's largest inland delta, comprising 10,563 miles of lush floodplains and immense wilderness where the water never reaches the sea. The area is home to a plethora of wildlife and is explored by vehicle, on foot, by mokoro (a traditional dugout canoe), and from the air in a doors-off helicopter, offering multiple perspectives on the floodplain's animals and habitats." - Deborah Calmeyer Deborah Calmeyer New York City and Cape Town-based Deborah Calmeyer is the founder and CEO of the ultra-luxe experiential travel company Roar Africa.
