Botswana is famous for its Okavango Delta and wildlife.
The delta is seasonal with rainfall on the Angolan highlands during the summer months, January-February, flowing down the Okavango River with water levels rising through March-June to eventually cover an area of about 37,500 square kilometres.
One of the few interior delta systems that do not flow into a sea or ocean, the water reaching the delta is ultimately evaporated and transpired. The Delta is both a permanent and seasonal home to a wide variety of wildlife including over 400 bird species.
