The Okavango Delta in Botswana is the world's largest inland delta. The
Okavango River, with its source in the Angolan Highlands, flows south
east into Botswana, forming the 15,000 m2 delta of limpid
water, swamps, reed beds, streams, flood plains, islands and long
stretches of clear water. Home to an extensive variety of fauna and
flora. Basically it's where the Okavango river flows into the Kalahari
desert, spreads out and dries up.
This image is from about 20km north of Maun in NGAMILAND DISTRICT.

This is all the info I have:
This site is located on the Otjihaenamaparero farm 30km from Kalkfeld, Otjiwarongo, Namibia.
The existing well visible prints are of a two-legged three-toed dinosaur.
Approximate age of the prints is 160 million years.
The prints were left in the red Etjio sandstone at the time it was a soft clay.
The prints can be traced for about 30 metres.
The site was declared a national monument in 1951.
Hope you've got a good map!

The largest meteorite ever found is to be found in the grounds of the ``Hoba'' farm close to Grootfontein. It weighs more than 50 tons, has a volume of 9 cubic metres and hit the ground about 80,000 years ago. The estimated age of meteorite is between 200 and 400 million years. Visitors (vandals) break off bits as souvenirs, so it's gradually shrinking. | |
