| An aerial view of the southernmost areas of the Okavango Delta on our way from Maun to the Wilderness Safari camps in the heart of the delta. Okavango is the world's largest inland delta and gets flooded every year around May/June by rain water coming from Angola. Due to the absence of any industry or farming along the Okavango river, the water is unbelievably clean. The floods last for about two months and by mid July the water begins to dry up, leaving behind enormous quantities of salt, seen in the white patches of land. It's this cycle of water that attracts wildlife in very large numbers in northern Botswana. Vehicle tracks that were in use only a month ago are now submerged, cutting of human access to several parts of the delta. |
