A fleet of wooden dugout canoes called Mokoros lie along the swamp edge at sunrise in the Okavango Delta in Botswana Africa. The Okavango Delta (or Okavango Swamp), in Botswana, is the world's largest inland delta. The waters of the Okavango Delta are subject to seasonal flooding, which begins about mid-summer in the north and six months later in the south (May/June). The water from the delta is evaporated relatively rapidly by the high temperatures, resulting in a cycle of cresting and dropping water in the south. Islands can disappear completely during the peak flood, then reappear at the end of the season. The water entering the delta is unusually pure, due to the lack of agriculture and industry along the Okavango River.
