The Delta is one of the seven natural wonders of Africa. Most importantly, it receives approximately 11 cubic kilometres of water per year from the annual floods. During the dry winter months, the delta is at its fullest. For this reason, it attracts a large variety of wildlife. In fact, it is known to be one of the areas with the highest concentrations of wildlife during this time!

The high concentration of permanent and seasonal wildlife around the Delta include elephant, buffalo, hippo, rhino and a wide variety of buck, as well as predators including lion, cheetah, leopard and the Nile crocodile and a large variety of birdlife. During your Delta Escape trip, you will have 2 full days to experience the natural wonder of the Delta and all it has to offer.  You spent time on several day and night game drives, as well as guided nature walks and water excursions (if water levels permit).
