Namibia’s green, wet corner — a narrow corridor of land wedged between Angola, Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The Kwando, Okavango and Chobe rivers flow through the Caprivi Strip creating a lush, riverine landscape that feels entirely unlike the rest of Namibia. Wildlife density along these river systems is excellent, and the near-total absence of other tourists makes every encounter feel entirely your own.
