A crocodile rests on the bank of the Chobe River.
From the elevated position of the viewing deck you have a birdseye view of the surrounding floodplains and waterways.
If you want, you can participate in a number of additional activities away from the Nguni. These activities are either conducted from, or reached by, smaller tender boats.
Approximately 450 species of birds occur throughout this area. It is the most prolific birding wildlife area in Southern Africa due to a diverse spread of habitats. Iconic species of the area include the African fish agle, mallachite kingfisher, African jacana and African skimmer. Rarities like the slaty egret, rosy-throated longclaw, coppery sunbird, white backed night heron and pels fishing owl can occasionally be spotted.
Fishing in a place like Botswana not only gives you the isolation and the whole water experience but also the chance to see elephants, hippo, crocodiles, buffalo and numerous plains game species. The Upper Zambezi and Kasai Channel has some of the best river fishing in the world. The targeted species are tigerfish, bream and catfish.
Game viewing will take place on the Chobe River. The Chobe has the largest concentration of elephants in Africa and for any visitor to Chobe the Nguni experience is a must, a fundamentally new game viewing experience. There are vast buffalo herds and numerous plains game species that traverse the area as well as the possibility of sighting predators such as lion, wild dog, hyena and leopard.
All clients aboard Nguni will be part of the Zambezi culture. The river communities that live along the banks of the river are known as the Lozi and Masubia. Visitors are able to experience their lifestyle by simply observing as they tend to their daily duties or be more participatory as guests in one of their villages.
With a walking safari you also get a completely different perspective on foot and learn to appreciate many of the smaller things not easily viewable from a vehicle. The floodplain and wetland areas of the Zambezi and Chobe have a diverse ecological makeup. The opportunity to take guided walks is available over varying distances and within different habitats.
