Okavango Delta and Northern Areas

The Okavango Delta is created by the Okavango River, the third largest in Southern Africa, spreading out on reaching Botswana. After passing through the Popa Rapids, the river creates an enormous delta of over 15 000 square km. This consists of a network of channels, ox-bow lakes, flood plains and islands. The main attraction of the Delta is its beauty and solitude. Safaris centre on fishing, walking and bird-watching or gliding through the clear water on a “mokoro” (wooden dug-out).
