The Okavango Delta is an ecological miracle. It consists of marshlands and seasonal flood plains, and is one of the few delta systems completely isolated from the ocean. It is a miracle that there is a place where seasonal rainfall can maintain this verdant vegetation and wildlife. Okavango River is the fourth longest river in southern Africa, with a total length of 1,600 kilometers. The river originates from central Angola. The upstream section is called the Kubango River. It basically flows from the northwest to the southeast, and finally enters the Kalahari Desert in northern Botswana. , Forming a huge Okavango Delta, its area can reach 15,000 square kilometers, and its maximum area can reach 22,000 square kilometers. The Okavango River Basin has a tropical grassland climate. The year is divided into obvious dry and wet seasons. Due to the influence of the equatorial low pressure zone, the upper reaches of the rainy season enters the rainy season around March. The heavy rainfall makes the river water rise rapidly, and the large flow pours downstream. There is a section of the river, which is sandwiched by ridges on both sides, has a fast flow rate and a strong impact effect, carrying more sediment into the downstream.
