Sightseeing flights over the Okavango Delta from Maun
Sightseeing flights over the Okavango Delta are a fascinating opportunity to get to know the wildlife of this natural paradise. “Helicopter Horizons” from Maun offers a variety of different flights over the Okavango Delta in helicopters.
The helicopter tours on offer are a perfect complement to your self-drive safari through Botswana and an ideal opportunity to get to know the heart of the Okavango Delta, especially if you stay overnight in Maun and not in one of the high-priced lodges directly in the Okavango Delta or in the Moremi Game Reserve.

Sightseeing flights over the Okavango Delta
So-called “door-off” helicopter flights over the Okavango Delta are offered. The helicopter doors are removed for unobstructed visibility, providing better opportunities for photography and viewing of the Okavango Delta's magnificent landscapes and wildlife.
Guests are provided with head sets and receive a lot of information from the knowledgeable pilots of “Helicopter Horizons”.
The either 45 or 60 minute helicopter sightseeing flights can be supplemented with a short stop on an Okavango island where a local drink is offered or a visit to “Elephant Heaven”, a station for orphaned and abandoned baby elephants.
An exclusive top offer is the "Okavango experience" with overnight stay, where, in addition to the sightseeing flight, you spend one or more nights in a luxurious bush camp.
