Expedition Journal

Last month, our team set off on a 400km kayak expedition through Botswana’s Okavango Delta - one of Earth’s last true wildernesses. What we found was breathtaking beauty, powerful community stories, and a fragile ecosystem facing mounting threats.

"Ahead of our journey to Botswana, the Echoes of the Okavango team came together for a vital training weekend in Snowdonia. From kayak drills on Llyn Padarn to remote medical sessions with R2RI, the weekend was all about building skills, teamwork, and preparing for the challenges ahead.
