Okavango Delta

3 Best Helicopter Safaris to Take in Africa, According to a Top Travel Advisor

"Vibrant floodplains are best appreciated from a doors-off helicopter: flights head north toward the source of the vast inland river delta, offering bird’s-eye views of winding channels and water-laced islands. From the air there is a strong likelihood of wildlife sightings — Nile crocodiles sunning on riverbanks, pods of hippos, and herds of elephants moving through the waters — and visitors can even enjoy a drink on a private delta island with only their party and the sounds of true wilderness. Routes, sightings, and picnic spots change constantly, so no two flights are the same, and the area is part of a UNESCO-recognized world-heritage wetland complex." - Shaun Stanley
