Most visitors arriving in Botswana touch down at the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport in Gaborone. From there, scheduled flights to Maun International Airport bring them to the main gateway to the Okavango Delta. Private lodges are generally reached by chartered light aircraft. Flights also arrive at Maun directly from neighbouring countries, and Fastjet now offers flights from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. The road to Maun is a good quality paved road for self-drive visitors to the eastern delta, although driving at night is not recommended. A well-equipped 4×4 vehicle is essential to enter the delta area.
Main Route Distances
The Moremi Game Reserve can be entered at South Gate from Maun and North Gate from Chobe National Park. The northern Panhandle area can be reached via Divundu (Namibia) and the nearby Mohembo Border Post, open from 06h00 – 18h00, or via Seronga Boat Station. Camps in the Delta interior are reached by aircraft and a combination of road and boat transfers.
