The Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta on Earth.

Instead of flowing into the sea, the annual flood of fresh water flows inland,

spreading over 15 000km² of the Kalahari sand in a maze of lagoons and channels.

The countless islands that emerge from its waterways give rise to several diverse ecosystems, which in turn are home to vast numbers of game and a myriad of bird species. The crystal clear waters support many kinds of fish. The area is a birder’s paradise.

The delta is at its most impressive in August when the champagne-coloured water is at  its deepest. Most of the animals' young are born between November and March when the vegetation is lush.

The heart of the delta can be accessed only by air. Since it is an exclusive

destination, it remains wild and relatively unpopulated.
