The rain has turned the okavango delta into Green velvet.
Here are some good info on what to take for your trip to the okavango
Delta.
The sun is strong and can catch you unawares especially while you are
on the water - take a hat and plenty of sunscreen!! Mosquitoes are
always around, although they are worse from November - April during the
summer. Take suitable malaria prophylactics (consult your doctor),
plenty of repellent and some light coloured long trousers and shirts
for the evenings.

You will need stout, comfortable shoes for walking, as well as neutral
coloured clothing. Winter night temperatures can fall quite low and a
jacket or fleece is essential, as well as a warm sleeping bag. A
raincoat is recommended from October - April. Bring a book and a
relaxed attitude for those hot summer afternoons or cool winter
evenings, as well as binoculars, a camera and a torch. We can sometimes
charge video camera batteries for you, depending on cloud conditions
and office power usage. All power is provided by solar panels.

Go and enjoy....http://www.botswana-botswana.com/oddballs.htm
