Comprising a 7,000 square mile network of waterways, channels and crystal clear lagoons, the Delta is an oasis in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. The reeds and rushes of the Delta harbor abundant animal, bird and aquatic life. Your local poler will steer you through this labyrinth of game-rich shoreline in traditional canoes called mokoros. You'll find marsh, river, grasslands, forests of palms, islands, flood plains and lagoons. The Delta is part of a geographic network that embraces Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe National Park, Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pans and Mababe Depression.
