The Okavango Delta is renowned for its spectacular scenery and diverse wildlife. It is home to over 200 species of mammals, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous species of antelope. The delta is also a bird-watching paradise, with over 400 species of birds, including African fish eagles, kingfishers, herons, and storks.

The delta is divided into several distinct regions, each with its own unique characteristics.

The western delta is characterized by large expanses of water and is home to several exclusive lodges that offer a luxurious safari experience.
