Intact, largely unthreatened, and virtually undeveloped, the Okavango Delta is a complex natural ecosystem that varies in size and mood according to season. It's important to know however that the Okavango Delta is not just a wetland: Angolan floodwaters from June to September can double the size of the permanent swamps at the core of the delta but great areas of the Okavango Delta are dry woodland, thick riverine forest, and grassy floodplains throughout the year.
To ensure your expectations are met, work with your safari expert about where to go in the Okavango Delta, and at what time of year.
