Discover the Okavango Delta: Botswana's Natural Wonder

The Okavango Delta is a vast and unique wetland ecosystem in Botswana, renowned for its annual flooding. Originating in the highlands of Angola, some 500km to the north, the Cubango River swells dramatically during Angola's summer wet season. This swollen river flows southwards through the Cuando River, eventually spreading across the landscape as it enters the Okavango Delta, flooding the vast floodplain. This annual flood is crucial for the delta's survival, bringing essential nutrients and sediment that support a diverse range of plant and animal life and maintaining its unique hydrology and geomorphology. It's a truly remarkable place, a testament to the power and beauty of nature.
