This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the backdrop to wild Africa's grand spectacle, presenting unparalleled wilderness experiences in a serene inland delta unlike anywhere else on Earth.

The largest intact inland delta in the world, the Okavango Delta is situated deep within the Kalahari Basin. It is fed by the Okavango River, which originates in the Angolan Highlands to the north. The delta is often referred to as the "jewel" of the Kalahari.
