Believe it or not, you're in the middle of the Kalahari Desert in a place that is home to some of the most diverse wildlife on the planet. Here, you can move among them. They watch you. They listen to you. And they can smell you.

Welcome to the Okavango Delta. This incredible wildlife coexists within a balanced ecosystem. Protecting it has created a conservation-based tourism economy for Botswana. But this oasis is supplied by water that comes from Angola through a wider system that's under threat. Climate change, deforestation, and commercial agriculture upstream are putting it at risk.

National Geographic and De Beers are working together in a partnership with local communities to help protect it. Developing livelihood opportunities so local communities earn more income from ecotourism and raising awareness of this unique wonder so it can be protected forever.

By visiting the Okavango Delta and supporting the people here, you can help too. Hire an expert local guide to walk amongst elephants and learn more about how they shape the landscape. Book the Mokoro Safari through a locally run operator to experience the Delta in a traditional boat, led by an expert poler.

Or to fully immerse yourself, book a night under the stars with the communities of the Delta. It will surely be an experience you will never forget. Together, we can help ensure that this lush paradise, along with the people and wildlife who live here, can thrive for generations to come.
