Okavango Delta Towel

Okavango Delta Nature Photo Prints and Gifts feature a beautiful photograph of a ride in a mokoro, a dug out canoe, on the Okavango Delta in Botswana Africa taken by Kurt Keller with a 35 mm camera while on an African safari in Botswana. A pole man stands in the mokoro in front propelling it through the shallow waters of the delta by standing in the stern and pushing with a pole. This was taken in 2000, the first year after a 10 year drought. The camp we stayed at had been giving jeep tours the years before at the same place we are now in boats. The Okavango Delta, or Okavango Swamp, is the world's largest inland delta. It is formed where the Okavango River empties onto a swamp in a basin in the Kalahari Desert, where most of the water is lost to evaporation and transpiration instead of draining into the sea.
