Okavango Panhandle
Welcome to Okavango Panhandle
The insider's travel guide to Okavango PanhandleAlthough not a big game destination, the broad meandering Okavango river in the northwest of the country is a birder’s paradise, with over 350 recorded species including several iconic Okavango specialties.
It is also popular among anglers, particularly around September, when the receding floodwaters concentrate huge shoals of baitfish, attracting a melee of catfish, tiger fish, bream and birds. Activities are mostly by boat or on foot.

Activities are mostly by boat or on foot. Other wildlife is far less common, and you’d be lucky to see much more than a crocodile or hippo in the river’s waters.
