Introduction

The Okavango Delta is a vast inland delta: rivers from the Angolan highlands fan into a maze of channels and islands at the Kalahari's edge, forming a UNESCO-listed wetland. Gliding by mokoro canoe, you share the water with elephants, hippos and hundreds of bird species—Africa at its rawest.
