Caprivi Strip


The Caprivi Strip in Namibia is a swamp-like land area which is the ideal place for safari wildlife viewing, explore the Caprivi Strip on a tailor made or scheduled Namibia Safari.

NAMIBIA SAFARIS AND THE CAPRIVI STRIP:

The Caprivi Strip is a 450 kilometre stretch of highly fertile, and in places, swamp-like land that is a narrow protrusion of Namibia eastwards. The Caprivi Strip juts out like a landing strip that is bordered by Botswana in the south, Angola and Zambia in the north, and the Okavango Region to the west, providing an ideal gateway to extended safaris in these areas. The Caprivi Strip is a highly recommended area and is the ideal region to go to on a planned or a tailor made Namibia safari.

The Caprivi Strip feels nothing like the rest of Namibia. Without any sign of desert, it boasts an abundance of river life and the Kwando, Okavango, Linyanti, Chobe and Zambezi Rivers all traverse the region. A Namibia safari on the river banks, particularly where the Zambezi River meets the Chobe River in the east, is sublime and an important part of any Caprivi Strip safari.

The wet season from December to March is accompanied by high levels of humidity and it is better to plan your Namibia and Caprivi Strip safari for the drier and relatively cooler months of May to October. Precautions for malaria, however are a 'must have' in your Namibia safari itinerary as the Caprivi Strip is a malaria zone.

The Caprivi Strip, also known as the Okavango Strip and formerly known as Itenge, is home to an abundance of safari wildlife.  70% of the bird species said to inhabit Namibia have been recorded here. This makes the Caprivi Strip an extremely popular safari holiday destination for bird watchers and enthusiasts. The Caprivi was hard hit by poaching in its conflict-riddled past but is said to be recovering well.  Game is able to roam freely through the unfenced region to Botswana and Zambia, making the strip a much sought after Namibia safari destination.

There are four reserves in the Caprivi Strip; the Mudumu, the Mamili, the Mahango and the Bwabwata (formally known as the West Caprivi Game Park). Elephant in their hundreds, zebra, buffalo, hippo, crocodile and giraffe are a few of the examples of the wildlife that abounds here. Nearby are the Popa Falls, which is the site of some rather spectacular rapids rather than falls, providing great variety to your game spotting safari. As one can imagine the Caprivi Strip is a popular Namibian safari area and compliments a Zambia or Botswana safari with amazing game sightings and bird watching opportunities.
