Call a specialist to talk about Okavango Delta now.
The Okavango River originates in the highlands of central Angola, then flows south-east across the Caprivi Strip in Namibia before entering Botswana on its north-east border and forming the world's largest inland delta as it hits the thirsty Kalahari. The water fans out to cover a huge area of mazy waterways, islands and lagoons, creating a quite unique habitat that is home to large numbers of wildlife.
A large area of the central and eastern Okavango Delta is government protected in the form of the Moremi Game Reserve, but there are a series of smaller reserves running to the south, west and north of the Moremi that have been created to protect the full area of the delta. These concessions typically contain only one or two lodges in each, and are not bound by the legislation governing the Moremi Reserve that forbids walking, night driving and driving off-road. This means a safari in the non-Moremi Okavango Delta generally offers a greater choice of exciting activity, better game driving (cont.)
