FUSION AFRICA
AFRICA’S
Last Eden
By Jeremy Thompson
he Okavango Delta is an enchanting rarity. One
of the great wonders of the world, it is the largest
inland delta on the planet. Half the year, the
T Okavango River rises and a rift in the Earth’s crust
causes it to flood 6000 square miles of northern Botswana land,
creating a maze of sparkling waterways, channels and lagoons,
and islands teeming with wildlife.
Of all the scores of safaris I have enjoyed across Africa, the
Okavango holds a special fascination. My wife and I recently
returned to the Delta and it was better than ever. We stayed
at two fantastic camps run by Great Plains, experts who
believe in combining enjoyment, luxury and conservation.
The co-founders, Dereck and Beverly Joubert, are National
Geographic filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers. We
could not have been in better hands.
