Trekking Through One of Africa's Most Majestic Places | National Geographic

The Delta of the Okavango is, for me, the most majestic place on earth. From the expedition, you learn so much; it's much more than science. It's much more than just being in a pretty place. Personally, it changed every molecule in my body. It changed the way I perceive being human.

The Okavango Delta has unique properties with unique traits, such an incredible biodiversity. Now we have 20 new species designed that are unique to the system, which we found in the past. The first expedition revealed species that are only found in that area—nowhere else in the world.

The delta of the Okavango is a world UNESCO heritage site, and what we want is to extend that status, which is only given to the most extraordinary places on earth. We aim to extend it to the entire basin, which includes Namibia and Angola, all the way to the source of the Quito's.

Considering animal lives, they don't know borders; they don't know that that is a completely human concept. So to have that completely stripped away and give them the opportunity to go back and forth as they'd like, it changes you. It changes the way you see everything. [Music]
