Khwe

The Okavango spreads into a vast inland delta, where channels, islands and floodplains interrupt the dry Kalahari. Among its peoples are the Bugakhwe and ǁanikhwe, whose livelihoods include fishing, hunting and gathering wild plants. The Bugakhwe use resources of both woodland and river, while the ǁanikhwe are particularly associated with the waterways. Floodwaters from the Angolan highlands spread through the delta before sinking into the sands.
