So I was really disappointed with how Okavango was going so I was wondering if we could do a total restart of that rp.
Here is the original submission of the idea...
I watched a documentary a while back about a pride of lions living in the Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta is a place in Botswana where, during the dry season, it is a dry and barren land. During the rainy season, however, the Okavango River empties out into the area and it becomes miles and miles of lush, swamp like land.
This rp will take place during the wet season. In spite of the fact that food and water will be readily available, the need to follow that food (Cape buffalo, zebra, whatever) across flowing rivers and marshes will be a constant challenge. Another obstacle to consider is the presence of crocodiles and hippos. Every one will have to be on their toes! Do you have a character that can't swim? This will be a good opportunity to reveal that trait. Maybe that character will learn how to swim here! Or maybe you have a character that is an excellent swimmer already. Your characters ability will be utilized here!
Here's a link to the wikipedia for the documentary...

You should probably google some more pictures just to get a better idea of what the terrain looks like.
