Okavango Delta, Inland river delta in northern Botswana

The Okavango River flows from Angolan highlands through Namibia, creating a vast wetland system spanning 15,000 square kilometers in the Kalahari Desert.

The delta formed along the ancient Lake Makgadikgadi, which underwent substantial drying during the early Holocene period, shaping the current landscape.

The Hambukushu, Dceriku, Wayeyi, Bugakhwe, and ǁanikhwe peoples maintain traditional practices of agriculture, fishing, and hunting within the delta region.

Between June and August, seasonal flooding creates optimal conditions for wildlife viewing, with accessibility through specialized safari camps offering water and land activities.

The water system maintains a constant cycle without ocean drainage, supporting over 400 bird species and all big five game animals in diverse habitats.
