History
The region has long been a crossroads: the Zambezi and Okavango systems sustained local communities for centuries and drew early explorers; modern parks were established to protect seasonal floodplain habitats.
Conservation
The Okavango Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and parks here rely on responsible tourism; stay on marked routes, avoid single-use plastics and support community-run excursions.
