Over the past 150 years or so Hambukushu, Dxeriku, and Bugakwe have inhabited the Panhandle and the Magwegqana in the northeastern Delta.

Xanekwe have inhabited the Panhandle and the area along the Boro River through the Delta, as well as the area along the Boteti River.

The Wayeyi have inhabited the area around Seronga as well as the southern Delta around Maun.

 

A few Wayeyi live on their ancestral home in the Caprivi Strip

 

Further, the Okavango Delta has been under the political control of the Batawana for several hundred years.

 

Most Batawana have traditionally lived on the edges of the Delta
