THE KAVANGO RIVER

The Kavango River is a river in southwest Africa. It is the fourth-longest river system in southern Africa, running southeastward for 1,600 km (990 mi). It begins in Angola, where it is known as the Cubango River. Further south it forms part of the border between Angola and Namibia, and then flows into Botswana, draining into the Moremi Game Reserve.

Before it enters Botswana, the river drops four meters, across the full 1.2 km-width of the river, in a series of rapids known as Popa Falls, visible when the river is low, as during the dry season.

Discharging to an endorheic basin, the Kavango does not have an outlet to the sea. Instead, it empties into a swamp in the Kalahari Desert, known as the Kavango Delta or Kavango Alluvial Fan. In the rainy season there is an outflow to the Boteti River which in turn seasonally discharges to the Makgadikgadi Pans, which features an expansive area of rainy season wetland where tens of thousands of flamingos congregate each summer. Part of the river's flow fills Lake Ngami. Noted for its wildlife, the Kavango area contains Botswana's Moremi Game Reserve. Apart from the natural beauty along the Kavango River, the people along the Kavango River also depend a lot from the food it provides. This includes the assorted species of fish found in the water. Socially, the Kavango River connects people living along it throughout its stretches,hence they all depend on it for its natural food. References
