The Okavango Delta in Botswana is one of the world's largest inland deltas. While most river deltas usually lead to an ocean, the Okavango River empties onto open land, flooding the savanna and creating a unique and ever-changing inland delta.
Major tourist attractions in the Delta and the dryland areas are game viewing, birdwatching and boating.
The traditional mokoro dug-out canoe gives you an 'eye to eye' experience with smaller creatures living in amongst the water-lilies and papyrus.
The diversity and numbers of animals and birds are staggering. A recent overview of the Okavango region recorded 122 species of mammals, 71 species of fish, 444 species of birds, 64 species of reptiles and 1,300 species of flowering plants.
