📍 Destination Overview
The Okavango Delta is a vast inland delta in Botswana's Kalahari Desert. The Okavango River spills into the sands and evaporates, creating a wetland oasis of channels, lagoons and islands rich in elephants, hippos and crocodiles. A UNESCO heritage site, riding a traditional mokoro canoe through reed channels makes it a unique wildlife paradise.
