Greater Kudu in Botswana

Looking for the greater kudu in Botswana? Start with Okavango Delta, where access and habitat make a sighting more likely than a chance roadside glimpse.

Okavango Delta in Northern Botswana is the place to begin. A river that never reaches the sea. Mokoro trips through papyrus channels with elephants, hippos, and painted dogs. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.

Botswana context: Meerkats on sentinel duty, elephants in the Okavango, and some of Africa's wildest dry-country wildlife.

In Botswana, look especially around woodland thicket, rocky hillside, and riverine bush. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
