Rivers, canyons & gorges
Okavango Delta
Maun, Botswana
The Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, floods annually, creating an oasis in the Kalahari Desert where it's possible to glide between papyrus reeds on a traditional mokoro canoe. This lush haven hosts leopards, rhinos, and the elusive sitatunga. Best explored during the dry season between May and September when wildlife congregates.
