A Luxury Wildlife Oasis in the Kalahari Desert
The Okavango Delta, a World Heritage Site, is surely one of the most renowned wilderness safari areas in Botswana and is not to be missed. Lying at the heart of the Kalahari Desert and known as the ‘river that never finds the sea” it boasts with a maze of sparkling lagoons, meandering channels and fertile floating islands inhabited by Africa’s most distinctive wildlife. A range of highly rated luxury safari lodges is situated in prime locations offering unrivalled views of the Delta lagoons and floodplains filled with an array of wildlife and birdlife. Adapted for life in and out of water, the elegant red lechwe and shy sitatunga antelope are found in this watery wilderness. Lion, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog also share the floodplains with large herds of elephants and buffalo, plus other interesting creatures.
