The Okavango Delta is a unique ecosystem that is situated in the
middle of one of the largest stretches of sand in the world, the
Kalahari basin. It lies like an oasis in an inhospitable landscape.
The vegetation is lush and the wildlife is of the very best in
Africa. The Delta covers 16000 km2 and is one of the largest inland
deltas in the world.
The Okavango River starts on the Benguela Plateau in Angola,
meanders through Kalahari sand for 1300km before entering Botswana
and flows south towards the town Maun in the Thamalakane. The
delta forms many islands in high season, which also act as a base
camp for your mokoro and walking safari experience.
The wildlife is amongst the best in the world, and certainly
situated in the most unspoilt corner of Africa. If you do not
wish to view game in an area where safari vehicles often out number
the animals, the Okavango Delta is the place to visit. |
