Chief's Island, located in the heart of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, is one of the largest islands and a prime wildlife viewing destination. Accessibility is primarily via small aircraft, and due to the nature of the terrain, mobility can be challenging. While self-guided explorations are not feasible due to the wildlife and environment, guided safaris and mokoro (dugout canoe) trips are highly recommended for the best experience and safety. The dry season (May to October) offers optimal game viewing, while the wet season (November to April) brings lush landscapes but potentially limited access and animal dispersal. Costs can be high, ranging from several hundred to over a thousand USD per person per night, encompassing accommodation, activities, and park fees. A typical visit lasts between 3 to 5 days to fully appreciate the diverse ecosystem and wildlife. Booking well in advance is essential, especially during peak season.
