ATLAS / NAMIBIA
NORTH-EAST / ZAMBEZI · CAPRIVI
Zambezi.
The Zambezi Region - often called Caprivi in travel parlance - opens the story of the Namibia of rivers.
Plan your tripWorth knowing.
The Namibia of rivers and forests. Bwabwata, Mudumu and Nkasa Rupara are distinct parks: choose which ones to delve into along the journey.
How to live it.
The base on the river changes the activities. Boat trips on Kwando depend on water level. An extension to Victoria Falls requires a separate program, beyond the end.
On the field.
The right question here is not just which animals you will see. It's which river, which base and how much time you want to leave for the landscape.
The water level changes the program
Gondwana reports that boating activities on the Kwando are dependent on river levels. A season does not guarantee a specific excursion: feasibility must be verified.
SourceNot all of Namibia is desert
MEFT describes Mudumu and Bwabwata across forests, rivers and habitats other than the Namib. Choosing the north-east means planning another experience, not just changing lodges.
SourceAn extension, not an implicit inclusion
Victoria Falls is outside Namibia. If you want to add it to the trip, we evaluate the border crossing and the program separately. The miniature in the atlas is a geographical reference, not a reservation.
