Wild Africa: Rivers of Life

S01E04 Okavango River

Nestled in Northern Botswana, the stunning Okavango Delta stands out as one of Africa's most remarkable ecosystems. This lush wetland, encircled by the harsh Kalahari Desert, thrives thanks to the Okavango River, which provides essential water to the surrounding arid terrain. Throughout the year, the river nourishes pools and swamps, sustaining the diverse wildlife inhabiting the Delta. Annually, rainfall in Angola, located a thousand miles away, generates a massive flood that inundates the nearby floodplains, further enhancing the Delta’s vibrant ecosystem.
