Fish of the Okavango Delta

The inland delta of northern Botswana - a UNESCO site with tigerfish, tilapia, and one of the most biodiverse freshwater systems in Africa.

Continent: Africa Area: 15,000 km² Climate: Tropical

📖 Overview

The Okavango is an inland delta - the river never reaches the sea, ending in the Kalahari. Seasonal floods create vast temporary fish habitat. Tigerfish, tilapia, and catfish support both local fisheries and world-class sport angling. UNESCO World Heritage since 2014.
