The world’s largest inland delta is the Okavango Delta in Botswana. The area where the delta is situated was once a part of the Lake Makgadikgadi which dried up a long time back. At present the Okavango River has no opening into the sea. The river empties itself into the sands of the Kalahari Desert. Every year around 11 cubic kilometers of water reach the delta.
If you look at the delta from top it looks like a horizon- stretching pattern of dazzling channels, lively islands and zigzag game tracks. And, if you look at it from the ground, it looks like a confusing watery maze of green.
There are a very few places on the surface of the earth which are full of pure adventures. Okavango Delta is a perfect African safari destination for safari lovers. The Okavango Delta is Africa’s biggest freshwater wetland, in-between the dry and heavy bush of Botswana. This place is a home of numerous species of wildlife which attracts a large number of visitors every year.
This delta is a seasonal habitat of African elephants, buffaloes, Hippopotamus, Lechwe, Topi, Blue Wildebeests, Giraffes, Nile crocodiles, Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, the Greater Kudu, the Sable Antelope, both the Black and the White Rhinoceros and a number of other wild animals. In this place you can also spot a large variety of bird species which are rare.
During your African safari trip to the Okavango Delta you will experience close encounters with big herds of buffaloes and elephants, snorting rafts of hippopotamus and also many rare species of birds. In the bush you will see how the antelopes and the smaller mammals attract their predators, which are comparatively high in numbers.
If you are a nature lover, you shouldn’t miss watching the beautiful scenario at the time of sunrise in this delta. The mirrored waters are locked by the curling fog. You can start the day by gliding downstream in a mokoro to see aquatic antelopes and birds or take a game drive through the woodlands and floodplains in the delta. You can end your day watching the sun set while enjoying a boat ride. Remember to take an expert guide along with you so that they can share their knowledge about Okavango with you and make your African safari more interesting. If you want luxury accommodation, you can find many luxury lodges in the remote corners of the delta.
The water which enters the delta floods the north during mid summers and the south in the months of May and June. The water evaporates comparatively faster due to higher temperatures. During the peak flood season the islands disappear completely and reappear again at the season end.
The people in the Okavango Delta belong to five different ethnic groups. Each group has their own identity and language. Most of the people are involved in traditional occupations like agriculture, hunting, fishing, collecting wild plants which are edible, and also pastoralism.
