Okavango Delta
Described as 'the river which never finds the sea', the Okavango
disappears into a 15,000 sq km (5850 sq mi) maze of lagoons, channels
and islands in north-western Botswana. It's the largest inland delta in
the world, and it teems with wildlife.
Most obvious are the birds - thousands upon thousands of them - but
there are also elephant, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, hippo and
kudu. In the centre of the delta, the Moremi Wildlife Reserve totals
around 3000 sq km (1170 sq mi) and is officially cordoned off for
wildlife preservation.
