Okavango River
The 88th longest river in the world
The Okavango River (formerly spelt Okovango or Okovanggo) is a river in southwestern Africa. It is known by this name in Botswana, as Cubango in Angola, and Kavango in Namibia. It is the fourth-longest river system in southern Africa, running southeastward for 1,600 km (1, 000 mi). It begins at an elevation of 1,300 metres (4, 300 ft) in the sandy highlands of Angola. Farther south, it forms part of the border between Angola and Namibia, and then flows into Botswana. The Okavango does not have an outlet to the sea. Instead, it discharges into the Okavango Delta or Okavango Alluvial Fan, in an endorheic basin in the Kalahari Desert. The Cuito River is a major tributary.
Flows through: Angola, Botswana, Namibia.
