Summary: Botswana’s Okavango Delta is renowned as being one of the world’s largest inland water systems and home to a huge diversity of plant and animal life. After the rainy season, which generally runs from October to April, the Okavango Delta area almost doubles in size, creating a rich habitat for large numbers of animals. Amongst them, the leopard is one of the most intriguing. Solitary, elusive, graceful and bewitchingly beautiful, leopards are one of Africa’s prized “Big Five” – as dangerous as they are popular.
