When the surrounding areas of the delta began to emerge from the water, wild animals began to concentrate at the nearest water edge, becoming natural shelters and large pools for Kalahari large animals. Fish swimming in the water, crocodiles sunbathing on the beach, hippos grazing freely and swamp antelopes are all very wonderful.
