REVIEWS
We could see the delta all green with wild sage plants, everything smells good. We saw less animals than in dry season, but the experience remains magic. The meals were incredible, and varied.
Jacana is magnificent, we were able to regularly see elephants passing by, and the camp is surrounded by wattled cranes. The mokoro tour is a great experience especially since there is more water compared to last stay. The helicopter tour is a dream moment with a flight over the delta, and images engraved forever.
The stay was as magical as the previous one, even if we saw less lions and leopards.
