About Okavango Delta
Situated like an oasis at the heart of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, the Okavango Delta is a
swampy inland estuary of winding channels and lagoons bursting with extravagant wildlife.
Adventures in the Okavango include exploring water channels by mokoro (traditional canoes),
traversing plains on foot or game viewing in a 4-wheel drive. Seasonally 6,000–15,000 km² of water
spreads across the area, filters into Lake Ngami. Never finding the ocean, this breathtaking
maze of water channels is also known as “the river that never finds the sea”.
The lush environment attracts an array of wildlife, birdlife and boasts a variety of unique plant life.
Private reserves and world-class lodges reached by charter plane, combined with excellent game
viewing and expert safari guides make a visit to the Delta a breath-taking journey of exploration
amidst intriguing sights of natural wonder.
