Okavango River

Discover the Okavango River’s Wild Wonders

The Okavango River, a lifeline flowing through the heart of southern Africa, is one of the world’s most unique and ecologically diverse waterways. Originating in Angola, it winds its way into Botswana, eventually feeding the Okavango Delta – a vast inland delta teeming with wildlife. This river is vital to the ecosystems of both Namibia and Botswana, supporting an abundance of flora and fauna.

Along its path, the Okavango River creates lush wetlands, attracting large herds of elephants, buffalo, and various antelope species. Birdlife thrives here too, with over 400 species recorded, making it a prime destination for birdwatching. Visitors can explore the river by boat or mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, offering a serene way to experience the waterways and observe wildlife from a different perspective.

The Okavango River also forms the border between Namibia and Botswana, providing access to exceptional game reserves and national parks, including Mahango Game Park and the Okavango Delta. Stay in comfortable lodges along the river for an authentic, immersive safari experience, with guided tours and fishing trips offering a deeper connection to this remarkable waterway.
