As one of the most sought after wilderness destinations in the world, the Okavango Delta gives entrance to the wild Africa that dreams are made of; the heart-stopping excitement of big game viewing, the supreme tranquility and serenity of an untouched delta.A journey to the Okavango Delta is like no other. Moving from wetland to dry-land, traversing the meandering palm and papyrus fringed waterways, reveal the many facets of this unique ecosystem – the largest intact inland delta in the world.The Okavango Delta is situated deep within the Kalahari Basin, and is often referred to as the jewel of the Kalahari. The fact that the Okavango exists at all, deep within this thirstland, seems remarkable. Shaped like a fan, the Delta is fed by the Okavango River, the third largest in southern Africa. It has been steadily developed over the millennia by millions of tonnes of sand carried down the river from Angola.
