Landkaart Okavango Delta - Tourist Map of the Okavango Delta and Linyanti | Landkaart Botswana - Veronica Roodt

Zeer bijzondere landkaart van de Okavango Delta en Linyanti. Uitermate handig zijn de GPS coördinaten van de meest belangrijke punten als campings of uitzichtpunten. De kaart is gebaseerd op een luchtfoto, waarbij alle details zijn ingetekend.

The map: The map of the Okavango and Linyanti was compiled by using LANDSAT satellite images. The main reason for a tourist map of the area is to indicate the localities of the lodges as well as the wildlife management areas in which they occur. Tourists to the Okavango often visit more than one lodge and this will give them a good idea of where they have been. On the back of the map are enlargements of the different tourist areas, which shows more detail of the landscape. There are no GPS co-ordinates on the Okavango map as all the Wildlife areas consist of private concessions, which are not open to the general public. The roads in the private concessions have also not been indicated as this may mislead the self-driving public, making them think that they are public roads. All the localities of lodges were done by means of GPS references.

General: The Okavango Delta is a unique ecosystem situated in the middle of the largest stretch of continuous sand in the world – the Kalahari basin. This wetland lies like an oasis in an otherwise inhospitable landscape. The vegetation is lush, but very fragile and the wildlife is of the best to be seen in Africa. The Linyanti area lies to the north-east of the Okavango and forms part of the same ecosystem.

How to get there: Most visitors fly to Maun or to Kasane and fly to their various destinations. The only areas open to the self-driving public is the western pan-handle, the eastern pan-handle, the Moremi Game Reserve and the public road to Savute from Maun.

Where to stay: All the lodges are indicated on the map and their contact details are provided in detail in the directory of the Botswana Travel Guidebook which is discussed elsewhere on this site.
