Abu Camp offers an exclusive three-night four-day Elephant Back Safari. (Set departure. Twice weekly Saturday to Tuesday and Tuesday to Friday)

The Okavango Delta is formally classified as dry and semi-arid with high temperatures and a pronounced winter dry season. Due to its elevation the climate is more temperate than tropical. It has its annual flood during May-September (varies). During the winter months of June, July, and August the nights and early mornings can be cold. December and January are hot, with the wet season between November and March. Rain comes almost exclusively in the form of thunderstorms that occur in the late afternoon and early evening. The average monthly humidity lies between 30% and 70%.
