A UNESCO World Heritage Site covering up to 15,000 km², this inland delta is created by the Okavango River fanning out across the Kalahari sands. Seasonal floods transform the arid landscape into a lush wetland, supporting huge concentrations of wildlife. Known for mokoro (dugout canoe) safaris, it provides sanctuary to elephants, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, and an extraordinary diversity of birds and aquatic life.
