Macatoo - Botswana

Belinda who has been on 9 In The Saddle rides. Love galloping through the water, while giraffes look on. | This ride is one of my favorites. Riding in the flood waters of the Okavango is amazing and something you can't get anywhere else. Abundant wildlife is everywhere. You are able to ride very close to the wildlife. I never tire of seeing lots of elephants and giraffe. We were lucky enough to see wild dogs, close up, as well as riding within a few feet of hyena. The option of a game drive allows one to get close to lion and elephants. I also love the option of an afternoon boat ride. It was wonderful. The 'tents' are nicer than some homes, with wifi, indoor and outdoor showers and flush loo. Every tent has a huge deck overlooking the flood plain. Watching 'Eddy" the local elephant , sloshing and feeding in the water, a few feet from our deck was incredible. I just loved it!
[Olwen from In The Saddle - I am so glad that you enjoyed your return visit to the magical Okavango Delta and got to experience it in full flood.]

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Every tent is secluded from the others. You feel as though you are the only ones there. All of them have a view of the floodplain. Every morning your coffee is delivered to your tent. They spoil you!
