Helicopter Horizons is a Maun-based helicopter charter and tour operator on Mathiba I Street that flies guests over the Okavango Delta, the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Kalahari Desert. Travelers book it to see Botswana’s wilderness from the air, including remote areas that only a helicopter can reach (source: Helicopter Horizons).
The menu covers scenic and photography flights, private transfers, full helicopter safaris, and cultural outings such as village visits and trips to the rock art of Tsodilo Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A team of more than 20 international pilots handles the flying, and reviewers often credit their local knowledge and enthusiasm (source: Tripadvisor). From low altitude, you can watch elephants wading through channels, hippos in lagoons and the palm-dotted islands that make up the Delta’s mosaic. The company has a 4.6 rating.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Floodwaters usually peak in the Delta from roughly June to August, and the dry months of May to October draw wildlife to the water. These months are also high season, so book flights well ahead. Early-morning and late-afternoon departures give softer light for photography. If you are staying at a lodge in the Okavango Delta or the Linyanti region, the company can arrange scenic flights that depart from your camp (source: Lodge Experiences). Maun International Airport is close by, so a flight fits easily before or after a light-aircraft transfer.
When planning your Okavango Delta travel guide or browsing verified attractions in Okavango Delta, pair this stop with standout local spots including Cresta Maun Hotel, Baines Baobabs, andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp, and Belmond Safaris (nearby).
