African Odyssey, "Okavango"

The Okavango River flows south from Angola dividing into a number of lesser watercourses forming a vast fan shaped luxuriant wilderness of flood plain, forest and myriad labyrinth channels before disappearing into the sands of the Kalahari. This 15,000 square kilometres wetland supports fantastic birdlife as well as many buffalo, hippo, and crocodiles, together with the water adapted lechwe and sitatunga antelope. Travel here is by makoro - dug out canoe
