How to get there?

You can either fly to the Okavango Delta, take a rental car (mind the distances in Botswana | make use of google maps for a detailled and individual route description.) or join an organised tour from Johannesburg/Pretora or even Maun.
All mainliners, such as Intercape, coming from South Africa are only connecting with the capital of Botswana, Gaborone.
