Botswana’s
Okavango Delta has to be Africa’s most incredible wildlife
and wilderness sanctuary. What makes the Okavango most remarkable
is that it is a wetland paradise located within the arid
Kalahari Desert.
The Okavango rests between shallow fault lines at the end
of the Great African Rift Valley. Deserts are low on annual
rainfall and the Okavango Delta is no exception. However,
each year floodwater flows into the Okavango from its source
in the moist African highlands over 1000 km away. These
floodwaters flow from their catchment southwards and into
the Kalahari Desert to create a unique wetland that supports
and sustains a huge diversity of wildlife. Apart from the
beauty of the wetland habitat, game viewing is excellent
