Well, dear friends, breath deeply and listen to me: The Okavango Delta in Botswana is a place you must see in this life. It is really one of the Earth’s most impressive and most beautiful places.

But, first of all, let’s make it clear: if you think to a classic delta, you are terribly wrong. Okavango Delta is not a place where the river reaches the ocean. The Okavango River never reaches the ocean! It simply vanishes in the desert, due to the strong transpiration and evaporation. 100 years ago it was totally impossible to admit and understand that, but this is the true: the mighty sandy Kalahari Desert simply swallows the Okavango River! The Okavango Delta is actually Africa’s biggest oasis.
