Zambezi

A long, narrow strip in Namibia's far northeast, surrounded by rivers and wetlands, where boat trips reveal elephants and hippos.

Zambezi (formerly the Caprivi Strip) is a long, narrow corridor in northeastern Namibia, surrounded by Zambia, Botswana and Angola, with Katima Mulilo as its capital. Rivers crisscross the region, and along the Kwando, Linyanti and Zambezi rivers lie national parks such as Nkasa Rupara and Mudumu, where boat trips offer views of elephants, hippos, crocodiles and abundant birdlife. In the dry season (roughly May–Oct) animals concentrate near the water, making it the best time for game viewing. Overland trips are possible to Chobe National Park in Botswana and to Livingstone in Zambia.
