Despite the worldwide lockdown (and a distinct lack of guests to enjoy it) we’re thrilled to have Botswana’s rivers return in such abundance.<\/p>\n

In May 2019, President Mokgweetsi Masisi officially declared drought across Botswana. Thankfully, excellent rains have fallen and our lodges across the Okavango Delta are surrounded by floodwaters once again.<\/p>\n

In a double dose of good news, many camps and lodges are also open again! Where’s the first place you want to go?<\/p>\n

Here’s an update on the rivers and re-openings in Botswana’s best addresses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chobe Safari Lodge and Chobe Bush Lodge Update<\/h2>\n
$\"Under$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Botswana’s National Parks have been open for 14 days already following the national lockdown, which lasted for seven weeks to help contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus. The elephants of Chobe National Park are still going about their merry munching business and the Chobe River floodplains are positively brimming.<\/p>\n
This video taken from Chobe Safari Lodge<\/a> shows how high the Chobe River has risen. In fact! Our favourite sundowner spot, Sedudu Bar, was even underwater in May 2020.<\/p>\n
\ufeff<\/span>\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\nHowever, Chobe River water levels are already starting to subside again.<\/p>\nSafari operators across Botswana are working towards recommencement of travel for international guests around October.\u00a0 However, tourism is likely to only be open for selected destinations as global governments and tourism bodies monitor the global pandemic and subsequent border controls.<\/p>\nThe Botswana Tourism Organisation has issued strict Tourism Industry Covid-19 Guidelines for reopening.<\/p>\nWe are incredibly pleased to help pioneer resumption of travel with the announcement that Chobe Safari Lodge and <a href=\"https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/botswana-lodges\/chobe-bush-lodge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chobe Bush Lodge<\/a> are open for local travel from today, 10 June 2020.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1932 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chobe-Safari-Lodge-3.jpg\" alt=\"Chobe Safari Lodge\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chobe-Safari-Lodge-3.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chobe-Safari-Lodge-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chobe-Safari-Lodge-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chobe-Safari-Lodge-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Chobe-Safari-Lodge-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chat to us<\/strong><\/a> about planning your future safari in charming Chobe National Park.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<h2>Okavango Delta Water Levels 2020<\/h2>\nThe rain in Angola falls between November to April before slowly meandering south into Botswana.

Data from Hydrology Services in Namibia showed water levels rising steadily and 2020 waters at their highest in past five years. On 24 February 2020 water levels measured 7.06m at Rundu compared to 2019 measurements of 5.14m and well above the annual average of 5.59m.<\/p>\nAfter entering Botswana at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.okavangodata.ub.bw\/ori\/monitoring\/water\/?fbclid=IwAR19l47Hx2grEDoUMHMpS39S8cHcFWfMhKc0AefG_T14iabwbHEpnSk7_SI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohembo<\/a>, the Okavango River then spreads near Seronga where it starts to form Botswana’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Okavango Delta. There are then three main channels that develop, namely Thaoge, Jao and Nqoga. Jao is the central channel and seems to be carrying the most water this year. This middle channel later becomes the Boro River.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1948\" src=\"http:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Botswana-Floods-2020.jpg\" alt=\"Botswana Floods 2020\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Botswana-Floods-2020.jpg 960w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Botswana-Floods-2020-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Botswana-Floods-2020-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\nAfter 18 months since the last floods and having travelled 2000km from the Angolan highlands, these are the first waters of the 2020 Okavango flood. On 12 May, the Boro River brought water to the safari base town of Maun, passing it into the Thamalakane River.<\/p>\nAs rivers start to reform again it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmegi.bw\/index.php?aid=85470&dir=2020\/may\/11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tradition for Batswana to fetch water<\/a> from these fresh floodwaters. Many believe it is the beginning of new life for everything.<\/p>\nOn 20 May 2020, floodwaters travelled a further 13km since passing below the Matlapaneng Old Bridge and continue to hit the Boteti River on 28 May 2020.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<h3>Moremi Crossing and Gunns Camp Report<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1933 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gunns-Camp.jpg\" alt=\"Gunns Camp\" width=\"1600\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gunns-Camp.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gunns-Camp-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gunns-Camp-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gunns-Camp-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Gunns-Camp-1536x887.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\nLast year we <a href=\"http:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/blog\/game-drive-moremi-crossing-gunns-camp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">introduced game drive safaris<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/botswana-lodges\/moremi-crossing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moremi Crossing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/underonebotswanasky.com\/botswana-lodges\/gunns-camp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gunns Camp<\/a> due to dry conditions.
