Okavango Delta Botswana

Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta and is situated in the country of Botswana. The Okavango Delta is basically a labyrinth of lakes, lagoons and hidden channels, which cover more than 17,000 square kilometers of land and acts like a magnet for the rarest species of wildlife as well as for the tourists. The Okavango River today has no outlet to the sea and hence empties itself in the sands of the Kalahari Desert and this is the chief reason for the irrigation of 15,000 square kilometers of land in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

The lush green indigenous forests of the Okavango Delta at Botswana with its islands and floodplains hosts more than four hundred species of birds and some of the rarest varieties of animals as well. Some of the abundantly found species of animals include lions, hyenas, elephants, wild dog, hippo, buffalo, crocodiles as well as the smaller varieties like warthog, spotted genets, mongoose, bush babies, monkey and tree squirrels.

Accommodations at the Delta Okavango are provided by a large number of safari lodges and camps. The Moremi Game Reserve, Linyanti Wildlife Reserve and the Chobe National Park surrounding the Botswana Delta Okavango offer the best views and experiences of the African wildlife. These camps are most easily accessible via airways from Maun to the desired camp.
