Ani South

Here the waters of the Okavango spread into a great inland delta in the Kalahari. Channels wind among islands, lagoons and seasonally flooded grasslands, and the river's waters disappear into the sands or return to the air rather than reaching the sea. The flood comes from rains in the Angolan highlands and reaches its height during the dry winter, drawing animals towards the expanding wetlands. When the waters fall, pools and lagoons remain along the channels.
