Maun: The Gateway to the Okavango Delta
Botswana is bordered by South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia. It is situated in the Kalahari basin, which is a 'hollow' about 3000km long filled with sand. So, most of Botswana is indeed covered in sand, making it a semi-desert. However, buried deep beneath the sand within the parent rock, are a wealth of minerals, most importantly a number of kimberlite pipes rich in diamonds. This makes Botswana one of the most prosperous countries in Africa. Besides that, politically Botswana is very stable and the crime rate is low. In my view, the most attractive attribute of Botswana is its people. They are friendly, sincere and very welcoming. Now combine all that with some of the best wildlife and scenery to be enjoyed anywhere in Africa, and you have a country to add to you bucket list! Okavango Delta Of course, the jewel in the crown of this amazing country is the Okavango Delta. Picture hundreds of streams originating in the highlands of Angola some 1000km to the north, all converging to form the tranquil, life-giving force - the Okavango River. This powerful river simply pours itself into the desert sands and seems to disappear. However, certain biological processes have evolved over millions of years to keep the water fresh and sustain a rich ecosystem that far exceeds the expected biomass and diversity of other similar areas. These processes are discussed on p35-37. I invite the reader to join me on a journey to explore and understand the wonders of this rare phenomenon - a delta in a desert - starting with the geological formation, ecological processes, the history, the tourist attractions and the fauna and flora.
Where is the Okavango Delta?
It is in the northeastern corner of Botswana in an area known as Ngamiland. See Map 2 for distances from the major cities in southern Africa to Maun Map 3 for distances from neighbouring countries.
