• Okavango Delta

    Botswana’s Okavango Delta is rightly considered one of the most incredible wildlife and wilderness sanctuaries in Africa. It is the largest inland delta system in the world, an area of 5,800 square miles filled with water channels, lagoons, and islands. The Okavango lies between shallow fault lines at the end of the Great African Rift Valley that cuts through the length of Africa. Remarkably, this wetland paradise lies deep within the arid Kalahari Desert. Deserts are low on annual rainfall and the Kalahari is no exception. But each year, floodwaters flow from their source- catchment areas in the moist central African highlands over 600 miles away – into the Delta to create the miracle that is the Okavango. Apart from the outstanding beauty of the wetland habitat, this unique area supports and sustains a huge diversity of flora and fauna, so that game viewing is excellent right through the year.

    The heart of the Okavango is the Moremi Game Reserve, where all the major habitats and ecotones of the Okavango are conserved. Around the Moremi Game Reserve are large private reserves or concessions leased out to safari companies under strict guidelines and carrying capacities. These concessions offer the very best safari experiences with massive tracts of pristine parkland and levels of privacy encountered in very few other places today. In some of these areas, one can go out all day and not see another soul – except the animals of course.
