The company has been running for twenty years. Its fleet of over twenty-five aircraft — Robinson and Bell Turbine helicopters — covers the Okavango Delta, the Linyanti region, and the Makgadikgadi Pans. Every flight is private, and every passenger is guaranteed a window seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core offer is doors-off scenic flights, which can be booked from any lodge within the Okavango Delta and Linyanti. From the air, the delta's channels, lagoons, and seasonal floodplains read as a single system in a way that is impossible to grasp from ground level. Pilots are also guides: they read the landscape below and position the aircraft over wildlife as it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond scenic flights, Helicopter Horizons runs lodge transfers — useful when an airstrip is forty-five minutes by road from camp — and a set of specific destination flights. The Tsodilo Hills flight reaches a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Conservation and Co-existence Cultural visit combines a stop at CLAWS (Communities Living Among Wildlife Sustainably), a livestock-protection programme, with a two-hour guided tour of the Hambukushu village of Eretsha, organised by the conservation NGO Ecoexist. Both projects address human-wildlife conflict in areas reachable only by air. The company also supports filming and photographic charters, with doors removed to allow clean sight lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBookings for flights within forty-eight hours are handled by phone or WhatsApp direct to the Maun office.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"phasec-create","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43808522960955,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/54878_2Fhelicopter_horizons_okavango_delta4.jpg?v=1784350809"},{"product_id":"xobega-island-camp-66616","title":"Xobega Island Camp","description":"\u003cp\u003eXobega Island Camp occupies a tree-covered island inside the Okavango Delta, sitting within Moremi Game Reserve and reached by boat across Delta channels. The approach is part of the experience: self-drivers need a 4x4 and a driver confident on thick sand and, in the rainy season, deep water crossings along Moremi's roads. The island itself is quiet, simple, and deliberately low-impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe camp holds ten Meru-style canvas tents, each with twin stretcher beds, bedding and linen, floor rugs, and scatter cushions. A canvas overhang at the front of each tent creates a shaded verandah. Behind the tent, an open-air en suite bathroom with a bucket shower and chemical toilet keeps the footprint light. Power is solar. Dining is communal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoat cruises run twice daily — morning and around sunset — through the channels and lagoons surrounding the island. Hippo, elephant, and crocodile move through these waters, and the birdlife is substantial: Pel's fishing owl is resident in the camp's trees. Mokoro excursions depart from Mboma boat station on the Moremi mainland, where a guide meets self-drivers and brings them across by a forty-five-minute boat cruise.

Most guests arrive here as a stopover before or after a safari in the Okavango Delta or Moremi Game Reserve, and the hotel is built around that transit logic: parking close to every room, an activity desk that can book Delta day-trips, mokoro excursions, scenic flights, and river cruises, and a five-minute drive to Maun International Airport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe forty rooms split between twenty-four standard rooms and a set of cottages.

The Maun Studios keeps just two rooms, the King-bed River Studio and the twin-bed Garden Studio, each with its own kitchenette, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Both sit inside a private, fenced garden on the Thamalakane River, planted originally by Phyllis Palmer, who ran one of Maun's first plant nurseries and supplied stock to many of the town's older gardens. The Palmer family has lived on this ground since the early 1970s, and the current studios, opened in 2020, continue that household rather than replace it. A thatched boma anchors the outdoor space, used for breakfast and sundowners. There is a pool. Birdlife is constant along the riverbank, and guests can walk the grounds down to the water.
