		The Omatako tributary in Namibia is an ephemeral river, flowing north-east to enter the Cubango River at the border between Angola and Namibia.
		The palm trees along the river, which are not very susceptible to low rainfall, provide a crucial source of "omarunga nuts" which are a crucial food resource for the Epupa community in dry seasons or in times of drought.
		The river provides essential dry-season grazing and vegetable gardens, and in addition the dam would flood their ancestral burial grounds, which are of great religious significance to them.

		A number of rivers flow in a more or less westerly course to the Atlantic Ocean, providing water for irrigation in the dry coastal strip and the potential for hydroelectric power, only some of which had been realized by 1988.
		South of the divide some rivers flow into the Zambezi River and thence to the Indian Ocean, others to the Okavango River (as the Cubango River is called along the border with Namibia and in Botswana) and thence to the Okavango Swamp in Botswana.
		The tributaries of the Cubango River and several of the southern rivers flowing to the Atlantic are seasonal, completely dry much of the year.

		Rundu - The Kavango River with its rich fauna and flora is one of the main tourist attractions in this north eastern region of Namibia.
		The Cubango river with its catchment area of an estimated 88700 square kilometres and estimated annual rainfall of 900 mm originates in the central highlands of Angola from where it flows southwards for 600 kilometers before entering Namibia close to Nkurenkuru.
		Despite the fact that the Okavango is the stronger flowing river of the two for only five months of the year, it still contributes 55% of the water that reaches the delta.

	The Okavango basin
		The Omatako tributary in Namibia is an ephemeral river, flowing north-east to enter the Cubango River at the border between Angola and Namibia.
		The ecological value of the Okavango region is high and increasing abstractions of water for irrigation purposes may have a negative effect on the ecology of the Caprivi Strip area in Namibia and the Okavango Delta in Botswana [163].
		The Limpopo River, which was initially a perennial river in Mozambique, can actually fall dry for up to a period of eight months per year, mainly due to abstractions in the upper catchment area [155].

		The country is divided into an arid coastal strip stretching from Namibia to Luanda; a wet, interior highland; a dry savanna in the interior south and southeast; and rain forest in the north and in Cabinda.
		The Zambezi River and several tributaries of the Congo River have their sources in Angola.
		A large number of rivers make their way westward to the sea; they rise, mostly, in the mountain belt, and are unimportant, the only two of any size being the Kwanza and the Kunene, separately noticed.

	Okavango Delta - Elephant Back Safaris
		It's headwaters start in Angola's western highlands, with numerous tributaries joining to form the Cubango river, which then flows through Namibia (called the Kavango) and finally enters Botswana, where it is then called the Okavango.
		Tectonic activity and faulting interrupted the flow of the river causing it to backup and form what is now the Okavango delta.
		This slow meandering pace of the flood is due to the lack of drop in elevation, which drops a little more than 60 metres over a distance of 450 kilometres.

		The Okavango River originates on the Benguela Plateau in Angola, an exceptionally high rainfall area with a rainfall of 1,200 mm to 1,500 mm per year.
		In Angola it is known as the Cubango River which is probably the origin of the name "Okavango".
		For the first ± 100 km in Botswana it flows as a single river which is guided by two parallel fault lines and then it divides and sub-divides to form a unique inland delta.

	The Okavango .
		Described as "the jewel" of the Kalahari, the Okavango Delta is a tranquil and isolated oasis set in Botswana's harsh and arid desert - widely considered as being one of Africa's best safari destinations with its special diversity of fauna and flora.
		Spurred by huge subtropical storms, the Cubango River rises in central Angola, flows through Namibia as the Kuvango River and finally enters Botswana as the Okavango River at Mohembo in the north.
		The Okavango River is funnelled through parallel faults of the Panhandle as a deep and fast-flowing river before being confronted by another perpendicular fault with a sudden increase in gradient.

		The government has long sought to develop hydropower on the Cunene River, and there is also good potential for hydropower and irrigated agriculture developments on the Cubango and Cuando Rivers and their tributaries.
		The Wattled Crane population in the Okavango Delta for 2003 is estimated at 1450 birds with the main distribution along the Jao and Boro River tributaries, Xigera, and Xaxaba.
		Although the 2003 population estimate is slightly higher than the estimate of 1205-1220 birds from 2002 and 2001, respectively, the difference is not statistically significant and the population is considered to be stable (the higher 2003 count is attributed to differences in strip width).

	Okavango Delta- Botswana
		In Angola, the Cubango, which is fed by numerous tributaries, floods after the summer rains, triggering a steady southward flow.
		The woody phoenix belts the river edges and the permanent swamps, and extends further south along the drying Thaoge River.
		As a result, the three Okavango River countries of Angola, Botswana, and Namibia in 1994 established a Permanent Okavango River Basin Water Commission to seek harmony on the use of the Okavango River waters.

		The Okavango River arises in the Angolan Highlands.
		From the Highlands in Angola, the Okavango River is known as the Cubango River, passing through the Caprivi Strip of Namibia and eventually reaching Botswana.
		The most important feature of the Okavango River is its seasonal flooding, which commences in mid-summer in the north and ends six-months later in the south.

		The River Okavango, which rises in the highlands of Angola, never reaches the sea; instead, its mighty waters empty over the sand of the Kalahari Desert.
		Once the river passes over the first fault line, known as the Gomare fault, it splits up into several waterways and channels that spread out and create that fan like pattern that is actually visible from space.
		In the upper reaches of the Delta, the river reaches a peak height in February or March, and so the Panhandle is the only area to receive the floods at the same time as the local Delta rains.
