4Okavango Delta, Botswana

Although not a traditional national park, the Okavango Delta is one of Africa’s most remarkable protected areas. This UNESCO World Heritage site is an inland delta where seasonal floods create a unique wetland ecosystem.

Known for its scenic waterways, floating papyrus beds, and grassy islands, the Okavango supports a rich array of wildlife, including hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and leopards. Exploring the delta by traditional mokoro canoe or taking a guided walking safari offers a close-up look at this stunning wetland environment.
