The focus of this book is the broad delta region, including the panhandle and Moremi Wildlife Reserve and also Lake Ngami. The author has spent more than a year in the Okavango region, capturing its many landscapes and wildlife inhabitants in the different seasons of the year and in different moods. He seeks to present this part of Africa in a novel and enchanting way, as he uses the analogy of a stage play or drama to portray life in the delta. To achieve this he divides the book into three parts, part one analogous to the stage-sets, part two an introduction to the "players" or "characters", and the third section the unfolding drama as the players take their places and act out their parts in this desert oasis.
