When one thinks of the biblical Garden of Eden, the things that come to
mind are the popular, universal images: lush foliage, a wide variety of
wildlife, and wide, open spaces—nature’s paradise, in other words. It’s
incredibly rare to find such a place in this modernized world, in these jungles
of concrete, or is it?
Secluded from most of the urban world, the Okavango Delta in Botswana
is considered to be Africa’s last Eden. It’s a unique wetland teeming with
life—the delta covers around 15,000 square kilometers of the Kalahari Desert in
Northern Botswana and is essentially a product of the Okavango River and the
waters that flow straight from the Angolan highlands.
The sights in the Okavango Delta are mesmerizing. Writing about his
trip to the Delta, U.K. Telegraph travel
correspondent Brian Jackman claims that every camp in the Okavango has its own
attractions. The Duba Plains shelter herds of buffalo and prides of lions which
prey on them, as well as hyenas and hippos. In the Plains you’ll also find a
collection of palm-tree islands and a number of magnificent elephants.
All in all, the paradise that is Okavango Delta is considered
Botswana’s most popular tourist destination, where you can see Mother Nature’s
wonders in all her glory. The sights and sounds allow for an almost endless
list of activities —from canoeing, fishing, walking safaris, and leisurely boat
trips.
