The Okavango Delta is Botswana’s main tourist attraction and is undoubtedly one of the world’s unique natural wonders. Flood rain waters from the Angolan highlands are carried by the Okavango River into the delta where it spreads out creating countless waterways and lagoons over an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometres.

Papyrus and Phoenix palms flourish here on the edge of the desert, and the waters provide an ecosystem for Fish Eagles and Kingfishers, Hippopotami, Crocodiles and Tigerfish. Delta bird life is extensive, even by southern Africa standards, with a full array of both bushveld and water species.

The best way to explore the region is by mokoroe (dug out canoe), foot, 4x4 or boat.
