Okavango Delta, Botswana

The Okavango Delta is one of Africa's most extraordinary natural phenomena — a vast inland delta where the Okavango River fans out across the Kalahari Desert to create a seasonal floodplain of channels, lagoons, and islands teeming with wildlife.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Okavango supports exceptional concentrations of elephant, buffalo, hippo, lion, leopard, wild dog, and cheetah across 15,000 square kilometres of pristine wilderness.
