In December 2018, the National Geographic Society signed an historic Protocol of Cooperation with the Angolan government, mandating the Wild Bird Trust, as the implementing partner, to advance the effective management of natural resources, capacity building, sustainable development and tourism in the Okavango-Zambezi Water Tower Project Area.

The Okavango, Zambezi and Chobe all have their sources in the Angolan highlands so Namibia is an essential link in the work of the NGOWP.

The Nkashi Classic Game
The Nkashi Classic Game is a simple race along the Okavango river in Botswana, avoiding obstacles like hippos, crocodiles and reeds navigating through various blocked channels and finishing in the fastest time possible. On the way you will have to collect water lilies and the word Nkashi for extra points.
Into The Okavango
The Okavango River Basin provides a vital source of water to local people and iconic animal species in Africa. However, this oasis is now under threat due to increasing pressure from human activity. Follow a team of modern-day explorers on an epic four-month expedition across three countries to help protect the river system that feeds the Okavango Delta, one of our planet's last wetland wildernesses.
Into The Okavango is only available to view in the following countries: Namibia, Angola, Botswana and South Africa.
Walk with us on our journey as we explore the Okavango Delta in all its beauty, save the Cape Parrot from near extinction and monitor the water and ecology in Africa’s wetlands.
