More than 400 species of bird thrive in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. Many of them are seasonal visitors, migrating here in the northern hemisphere’s winter.
Bird watchers can expect to add species including African fish eagle, lilac-breasted roller, hammerkop, ostrich, sacred ibis, and crested crane to their life list. A safari by mokoro canoe is ideal for getting close to the waterbirds as they fish.
