About this book
Okavango and the Source of Life follows explorer Steve Boyes as he leads the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project on expeditions to the source of the Okavango Delta. It was published by National Geographic in 2026 as a 224-page hardcover with more than 100 photographs and maps.
The team documents little-known lakes and rivers flowing through central Africa to the Okavango, poling flatboats with satellite imagery and hippo trails as guides. In Angola, closed off by war for decades, they track ghost elephants, a subspecies thought to have disappeared. The book includes a foreword by Prince Harry and portraits of local wisdom keepers.
