Transfers between safari lodges 

Helicopter transfers between camps are a popular and exciting trend, particularly in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Replacing small plane flights, these 30-minute transfers offer a more intimate experience, providing stunning, close-up views of the delta’s waterways and wildlife. This trend enhances flexibility, offers direct access, and delivers an immersive, unforgettable aerial perspective. Ask us how to include this thrilling experience into your safari for an unparalleled adventure.
