Stories of the Delta

Neslted in the heart of the Khalahari Desert, the Okavango Delta is the worlds largest inland delta. Its waters are a lifeline for the million species that call it home.

But the Okavango Delta is under attack. Climate change, droughts and tourism threaten it's future.

Echoes of the Okavango

In July 2025, a team of international explorers came together to journey through the Okavango Delta.

Our mission was to capture the story of this extraordinary ecosystem and to learn how local communities are working to protect it.

Inspired by the traditional wooden canoe, the mokoro, used by the people of the Delta for generations, we chose to travel by kayak, blending tradition with modern exploration.

Echoes of the Okavango launched on 13 July 2025, embarking on a 14-day, 400-kilometre journey along the Boro River - tracing the lifeblood of one of the planet’s most pristine wilderness areas.

In the first few days, we paddled through vast expanses of papyrus and winding channels. As we ventured deeper into the Delta’s heart, we branched out into tributaries - some never before explored.

Each night, we sat out under the stars - listening to our guides stories of their lives in the Delta and howit has changed over time.

But our most impactful moments on expedition were away from the water.

We took the opportunity to visit several settlements and villages across the Delta, to meet the locals, who welcomed us with open arms and shared their knowledge, traditions and hopes for the future.

We learned how they manage tourism, development, and commercial projects responsibly - ensuring the protection of their environment. We saw how they promote equality in work opportunities and prioritise education for the next generation.

After 14 unforgettable days, we arrived in Maun - marking the end of the Echoes of the Okavango expedition. It was an experience that was inspirational, humbling, and truly unforgettable.
