Possibly the greatest safari experience of our lives! Beautiful location, wonderful staff and well adorned rooms. Would recommend this AndBeyond lodge as one of the best we have stayed at and the Okavango Delta is one of the best locations in Africa to see unspoiled wildlife in their natural environment. Late Sept/early Oct is dry and hot, but viewing is great!
