Drift off with calm, boring geography as we wander through the weird landscape of the Okavango Delta, a massive inland delta that spreads into the Kalahari instead of reaching the sea. In true Sleepless Geographer style, we keep it slow, factual, and soothing, with gentle descriptions of channels, floodplains, islands, and the quiet rhythms of seasonal water.

Along the way we explore more unusual geography, from strange landforms and extreme environments to the forces that shape Earth over time, including tectonics, erosion, sediment, and climate. If you like sleep-friendly documentaries, relaxing narration, and oddly fascinating facts about rivers, deserts, wetlands, and geological formations, this is the perfect video to put on and let your brain power down.
