OKAVANGO DELTA
The Okavango delta is one of the largest inland river deltas
in the world.
This unique ecosystem covers an area of 15000 square
kilometres, where crystalline waters, appear to float upon
the desert.
One third of the Okavango is covered by the Moremi game
reserve, an African wildlife paradise.
MOREMI GAME RESERVE
Moremi is widely considered as one of the finest wildlife
reserves in Africa with a diversity of habitats combining
acacia forest and Mophane woodlands with floodplains and
lagoons.
The mainland forms only 30% of the reserve; the remaining
area is part of the Okavango Delta.
Game is plentiful and common sightings include elephant,
buffalo, giraffe, lion , cheetah, wild dog, hyena, jackal
and many different antelope, including red lechwe and the
shi situtunga, a web-footed antelope perfectly adapted to
life in the swamps.
MAKGADIKGADI SALT PANS
Entering this park id like entering a vast wilderness where
time and space vanish on the horizon.
These salt pans stretch about 10 000 square kilometres in
total. Some of these pans are enormous while others are
small pools surrounded by grasslands dotted with palm trees
