Okavango Safari-the Best Safari Experience For Anyone

The Okavango Delta is one of last completely unspoilt wildlife areas in Africa and the resulting wildlife makes for outstanding game viewing

. This has made Botswana one of the finest options of safari holiday destination. The perfect wetland is actually the World's biggest national delta seasonally formed by rainfall beginning high in the Angolan western highlands, starting in October with the floods reaching the last part of the delta in Botswana in the month of July. The various streams that amalgamate along the way into the Cubango River that then flows through Namibia transforming its name to the Kavango River and on entering in Botswana, it turns out to be the Okavango.

With no opening into the sea, the Okavango River floods into the Kalahari Desert covering some 15,000 square kilometers, submerging the islands and forming a web of fertile watercourses rich with flora and fauna.

More than a million years ago the river also flowed into Lake Makgadikgadi, but, eventually geographical movements radically changed the course of the river and the region became one of the major salt flats in the World. The plate activity, at the same time as forming the dry pan thus also formed the rich wetland surroundings of the Okavango Delta, instead of the waterless desert.

The wonderful animals that take pleasure in the fertile wetlands consists of elephants, buffalos, hippos, lechwes, giraffes, crocodiles, cheetahs, leopards, lions plus settled groups of wild dogs and more than 400 diverse types of birds. The region is a bird watching delight with diverse species varying from long legged water birds to the indescribable forest inhabitants.

The best Okavango safari experiences are luckily not limited to just one season which is good news for the tourists, in conditions of time and price. For the fans of safaris viewing the best time in the Delta is in the months of May to October when the wildlife is most concentrated in the flooded regions and the vegetation has become dried out.

Come the rainy time of year - November to April - the migrant bird populations arrive in vast numbers to take pleasure in the greenness of the area thus making a haven for bird watchers. Visitors can enjoy the excellent game viewing and birding by various ways - game drives, walking, by motor boat and Mekoro (a customarily crafted canoe).
