| Caprivi |
|
The Caprivi-Strip is the narrow
piece of land in the north-east of Namibia. This narrow piece
of land is named after the German Reich Chancellor,
|
 |
|
| Caprivi, who negotiated the Helgoland/Zanzibar
exchange with England in 1890. |
| |
| Surrounded by the Zambezi, and
criss-crossed by the Chobe, Kwando and Kavango rivers, the Caprivi
Strip is definitely the richest area of water in Namibia. Four
countries – Angola, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia border
on this narrow strip of land. |
| |
 |
The Caprivi also
called "the land of milk and honey – just bring your
own cows and bees" is scarcely populated and underdeveloped,
but a |
|
| much loved tourist destination,
with several parks, public campsites, and lodges available.
The East- Caprivi borders on the Chobe National Park (Botswana)
and the Victoria Falls are also quite close by. |

In central Caprivi there is the
Mamili Park (the Kwando river flows through the Mamili Park,
which is usually flooded during rainy season) and the |
|
| Mudumu National Park. In the
west one comes across the Kavango river, the Popa Falls, and
the Mahango Game Reserve. The most attractive part of a visit
to the Caprivi, however, is the abundance of wildlife and birds.
These can be seen and watched during game drives or boat trips
on the different rivers. |
