Like any other, the Okavango River should flow into the
ocean. Instead it takes a wrong turn and ends up lost in the interior
of Botswana where it creates the world's largest inland delta. It
costs a fortune to hire a guide and explore the delta unless you hire
one of the local cooperatives. Botswana safari companies charge more
than ones in neighboring countries.
Highlight: The Okavango Delta is considered to
be one of the premier wildlife spots in the world.
