In northern Namibia the Zambezi Region (Caprivi Strip) stretches east along the top of Botswana and is quite unlike the rest of the country.
It receives high rainfall, has lush vegetation and rich and diverse wildlife. The Okavango and Kwando Rivers snake across the Strip giving rise to waterfalls, rapids and swamps. Fertile soils support many small villages with children herding goats and cows, often all over the road.
Mahangu National Park
There are a number of national parks in the Zambezi Region. Mahangu is characterized by riverine forests, flood plains and magnificent baobabs. The park is rich in game with many antelope species, elephant, buffalo and lion. The picnic spot in the park overlooks a wonderful hippo pool. Neighboring Bwabwata has extensive savannah, ancient Kalahari woodland, lily studded wetlands and abundant game.
Mudumu National Park
Further east, Mudumu is notable for its large herds of buffalo whilst neighboring Mamili is the largest wetland area in Namibia. The intricate network of channels, reed beds and ox-bow lagoons are a haven for sitatunga, red lechwe and a myriad of birds from greater swamp warblers to lesser jacanas.
Finally, in the eastern Zambezi Region there are beautiful wilderness areas beside the Chobe River. Lodges here provide ideal bases for Chobe River trips or visits into Botswana.
