Botswana's premier wilderness and wildlife area, 1 of the 7 natural wonders of Africa
The Okavango Delta is a must-visit natural sanctuary in northwest Botswana, renowned for being the world’s largest inland delta. Interestingly enough, it’s also one of few that flow out onto land, not water. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a paradise of open grass plains, winding lagoons, mopane woodlands and extensive marshlands. An abundance of wildlife can be seen on both a permanent and seasonal basis thanks to attentive wildlife management and rich ecosystems maintained with the help of animals like the incredible hippos and elephants. This diverse area is also home to over 500 species of birds, around 1500 species of plants, and multiple endangered species like rhinos and wild dogs.
