The Okavango Delta is one of the world's greatest safari destinations - and is home to many private luxury safari camps and lodges. The Okavango is also the world's largest inland delta. Rather than flowing into a sea, the seasonally overflowing river empties into the Kalahari Desert.
When heavy rains hit the Angola highlands, its only a matter of time when the water flows down the Okavango River and inundates much of the Okavango Delta floodplain.

The Okavango Delta waters are highest in the late rainy season, lowest in the late dry season.
The Okavango Delta is a mosaic of waterways, marshes, lagoons and islands inhabited by a rich and diverse collection of animal, bird and plant life. Waters are crystal clear and are home to a variety of fishes. Although the Okavango Delta has an outstanding population of big game including lions and elephants, its finest aspect is birds.
You reach private camps and lodges by road and/or by air (using airstrips).
You explore the Okavango Delta by foot - or in a dugout canoe or small boat - or on a horse or elephant.
