Afternoons are usually water-based either in a mokoro (traditional canoe) which is expertly poled for you, or in a motorised boat. Guests can also go fishing for Breem (locally known as Talapia) and Catfish. Your evening excursion will stop somewhere for you to enjoy a sundowner drink and watch the African sun melt on the horizon.
Elephants, Lions and various antelope are all common in the Delta as well as Leopards and Wild Dog. You are very unlikely to see Rhino or Cheetah in this type of terrain.
