OKAVANGO DELTA OR OKAVANGO SWAMP:
The Okavango Delta (or Okavango Swamp), in Botswana, is the world's largest inland delta.

The Okavango River (originating in Angola) empties into the sands of the Kalahari Desert, irrigating some 15,000 km² of the desert. The Okavango River waters of the Okavango Delta are subject to seasonal flooding, which begins about mid-summer in the north and six months later in the south. The water from the Okavango is evaporated relatively rapidly by the high temperatures, resulting in a cycle of cresting and dropping water in the south. Islands can disappear completely during the peak flood, then reappear at the end of the season.

PEOPLE OF THE OKAVANGO DELTA:
The people of the Okavango consist of five ethnic groups, each with its own ethnic identity and language. They are Hambukushu, Dceriku, Wayeyi, Bugakhwe and the Anikhwe.

OKAVANGO DELTA WILDLIFE:
The Okavango Delta is home to a prosperity of wildlife and attracts thousands of visitors a year. There are number of camps within the delta region that cater to these visitors.

The Okavango provides a seasonal habitat to numerous different species. Among these are the elephant, African buffalo, hippopotamus, red lechwe, tsessebe, Blue wildebeests, giraffe, Nile crocodile, lion, cheetah, leopard, hyena, wild dog, greater kudu, sable antelope, black rhino, white rhino, water monitor, zebra, warthog and chacma baboon. The delta also includes over 400 species of birds, including fish eagles, crested cranes, and sacred ibis.
