Did you know?

The Okavango River rises in the Angola mountains, crosses the Caprivi Strip, and flows south to the Delta but most of the water evaporates in the Kalahari Desert, and some drains into Lake Ngami. Great animal migrations reach the Delta in July at the height of the dry season, coinciding with the high flood waters.

Highlights

  • Chief’s Island is the largest in the delta and was once an exclusive hunting area for the local chief – now a protected area for wildlife.
  • There are more lechwe in the Delta than any other mammal – about 88,000 individuals – a fabulous water-adapted antelope with extended hooves.
  • The Okavango Delta is home to 89 fish species including tigerfish, tilapia, and various catfish.
  • The endemic wetland plants play an important role in holding the sand together because there is no mud in the floodplains. The plants catch the sand, ‘gluing’ them together, helping to create more islands on which more plants can grow.
  • Birds, birds and more birds – from the African fish eagle, Pel’s fishing owl, South African shelduck, and African jacana, to the African skimmer, African spoonbill, southern ground hornbill, wattled crane, and African crowned crane.

Hippos, crocodiles, hundreds of smaller amphibians, and reptiles jostle for their place in this aquatic paradise. Amongst the lions, cheetahs, leopards, and elephants, there are also brown and spotted hyenas and black and white rhinoceroses. One of the largest packs of the African Wild Dog thrives in this food-rich environment alongside more than 400 species of birds.
