SAFARI TRAVEL: OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA
The Okavango River rises in the highlands of Angola &
flows southeast into the Kalahari, where
it spreads out into a delta formation covering over 15,000
square kilometers with a lush water wilderness of papyrus
swamps, shallow reed-beds and floodplains, dotted with
islands & laced with a network of channels.This is
a unique environment: there's nowhere else quite like
it. It's an amazing, world-class destination for wildlife,
from birds to big game.
It's
also a wonderful place to relax. Gliding silently in a
mokoro (a dugout canoe), you can watch the wildlife at
eye level. Often it's the smaller things that catch your
eye, like the tropical fish that flash through the clear
waters or the iridescent malachite kingfishers that dive
for them.
It
might take your guide's keen eyes to spot the terrapins
basking on floating logs, or a fish eagle just perching,
watching and waiting. Sometimes it's larger animals -
red lechwe wading through the shallows, or elephants on
the islands - whilst all around water lilies bloom and
birds call.
