ACTIVITIES ON SAFARI
The safari experience at Afrika Ecco is all encompassing in that it offers game activities for both land and water to suit which destination is being visited. Itineraries can include: the fan-shaped floodplains of the Okavango Delta; acacia-filled grass plains of the Central Kalahari; game-rich Xinii lagoon in Moremi Game Reserve; endless Makgadikgadi salt pans; northern Chobe’s pristine Savute Marsh.
Game Drives
All travel between destinations takes place in an open-air safari vehicle, while twice daily game drives are the highlight in Moremi, Kalahari, and Savute.
Walking Safaris
This is the way to experience Chief’s Island in the Okavango Delta. On foot with a guide who knows the area like the back of his hand. Learn about the tracks and signs of the bush and watch big game from the ground.
Mokoro Safaris
The traditional dug-out wooden canoe utilised especially in the Okavango Delta. Silently gliding through the waterways, guides take guests closer to nature and to the wildlife in the Delta than ever before.
Boating Safari
A 3-hour cruise when travelling into the Delta to access the campsite at Xaxaba. There are certain sections of the island where swimming is possible. If it is safe, and the water levels are low, guides will take you for a dip in the pristine waters.
