Caprivi Strip

The Caprivi Strip is the part that juts out from the north of Namibia over the top of Botswana. It’s a fertile, lush area unlike the rest of this spectacularly desert-covered country.

Why the Caprivi Strip?
Both the Kwando and Okavango Rivers cross the Caprivi Strip, creating a remarkable landscape of rapids and wetlands. Mahango National Park – part of Namibia’s larger Bwabwata National Park – is great for wildlife viewing including elephant, lion and several species of antelope. Nearby Mudumu National Park is also known for its large herds of plains game. Don’t miss the wetlands of Mamili, where red lechwe, sitatunga and large pods of hippo thrive.

A safari in the Caprivi Strip offers delightful contrast to your Namibian safari. You’ll pass through welcoming fishing communities with opportunities to shop for local crafts, and the Caprivi Strip easily accessible from Victoria Falls. This is a great addition to your plans anywhere in the region.
  • A lush promontory of land running along northern Botswana.
