Delta Hideouts at Okavango Delta

Habitats & Niches Adventure Pack

Deep in the winding waterways of the Okavango Delta, habitats are shifting.

Floodwaters are rising and receding in unusual patterns. Animal territories are overlapping. Resources are becoming scarce in some areas while others are overcrowded. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the balance between habitats and niches, and explorers are needed to restore order before competition overwhelms the system.

In Delta Hideouts at Okavango Delta, students are dropped into one of the most unique inland delta ecosystems on Earth on a high-stakes ecological mission. By learning how organisms adapt to specific habitats, how niches define an organism’s role, and how limiting factors control population growth, explorers must analyze territory changes, rebalance resource use, and stabilize the delta’s living system.

This adventure blends habitat and niche science with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
