I agree with Ericka that Okavango plays in an exceptional league.

At Ranthambore however, we were unlucky. Spending two nights at the Oberoi Vanyavilas we didn't see any tigers. It was terribly cold in January. The best animal we saw was some kind of lynx.

Vuittonsofstyle, are there luxury lodges in Madhya Pradesh? For example in Bandvargah Park? I thought they were all in the Rajasthan area.

To the OP: for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I would not limit the Okavango Delta to Mombo, but take a 4x4 with chauffeur instead, and drive the sand road north, staying at Savute Elephant Camp, Chobe Lodge, Royal Livingstone Hotel, then flying out of Vic Falls.

What I am trying to say: there is many alternatives to the Seychelles, but probably none for the Okavango Delta.
