Okavango Riverin Angola Cubango RiverRiver, southwest-central Africa. It is the fourth longest river system in the region. Rising in central Angola, it forms a section of the boundary between Angola and Namibia. It empties into the Okavango Swamp, a large wetland north of Lake Ngami in northern Botswana, after a course of about 1,000 mi (1,600 km). It is unnavigable except for small craft, and its banks are sparsely settled; a major problem for inhabitants is control of the tsetse fly. The Moremi Wildlife Reserve in the northeastern corner of the swamp teems with wildlife. How to thank TFD for its existence?
