The Okavango Delta
The Okavango is an immense river that never meets the sea. Instead, its crystal clear waters spread
across the Kalahari Desert , forming Africa 's largest wetland wonder, before the formidable African
sun swallows the last of its outstretched fingers. The Delta is an abundant oasis amid the vast plains
and pans of the desert that covers most of Southern Africa . Its waterways are a mesh of meandering
and intercepting channels, creating a haven for Africa 's most celebrated wildlife.
Lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, hippo, crocodile, plains of zebra and a variety of buck, including the
red lechwe are the most conspicuous within the Delta's thriving eco-system. It is renowned for being
a birdwatcher's paradise, with over 240 species of bird flourishing in the swampland environment,
including the rare Pel's Fishing Owl and the endangered Wattled Crane.
Botswana boasts a diverse landscape that lends itself to world-class safari tours exploring the
Kalahari Desert , Makgadikgadi Pans, Okavango Delta, Chobe River all the way up to Victoria Falls ,
an hour's drive from Kasane. It is not surprising that tourism drives the economy and many of the
old original concessions have upgraded their accommodation offering to serve only the
premium luxury market.
It is for this reason that Gunn's Camp, situated deep in the Delta, on one of the oldest granted
concessions, remains a rare and enchanting find.
