Things to see in Namibia: The Caprivi Strip

Namibia's north-eastern panhandle is a long, narrow strip of land that stretches along the Okavango almost as far as Victoria Falls. The distance from Windhoek means it's easier to combine a stay here with nearby Botswana or Zambia than with other parts of Namibia.

Here the Zambezi's tributaries form a complex system of waterways, islands and riverine forests - protected by parks and wilderness areas. The trans-frontier park, which allows wildlife to move freely across the area, makes this region a hidden gem. It is as rich in wildlife as more popular areas such as Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
