Boat journeys in the Panhandle can take the form of lodge transfers, fishing trips, birding expeditions or sundowner cruises. With so much water and difficult, limited driving routes, people have traversed this area mainly by boats of one sort or another for centuries. The best and sometimes only way to access some of the more isolated, beautiful areas of the Panhandle is by boat, and there is no restriction on getting onto the water after dark to get an idea of the stillness of the waters and the eerie sounds of the wild that surround them when the boat’s engine is turned off. Nxamaseri and other lodges in the area have a range of boats and guides to suit all interests, and however you choose to explore the Panhandle, you will spend plenty of time passing through the peaceful channels and tributaries of the great Okavango.
