The Okavango Delta, considered to be the world’s largest inland delta, is a vast inland river delta in northern Botswana. It’s fed by the Cubango and the Quito rivers from the Angolan highlands. It’s known for its sprawling grassy plains, which flood seasonally, becoming a lush animal habitat. The Okavango Delta is over 2 million hectares with an additional buffer zone of over 600,000 hectares. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in September of 1996.

The Okavango Delta is home to a variety of water-faring wildlife species including hippos, elephants, water birds, crocodiles, and a rare water antelope called the sitatunga. On dry land, the wildlife includes lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants and rhinos. The Okavango delta has over 400 species of birds and around 71 species of fish.

One interesting feature about the delta is its unique salt islands, which according to research, begin as termite mounts. Every year, about 11,000 billion liters of water flow into the Delta. The Delta also supports livelihoods of communities living around it through photo tourism, fishing and sometimes through controlled hunting. We offer mokoro, boat cruises, camping trips and day trips to the Okavango delta.
