Camping Namibia

Park / Reserve: Caprivi / Zambezi Region

The Zambezi Region (still widely known as the Caprivi Strip) is Namibia’s lush, well-watered panhandle, wedged between the Okavango, Kwando and Zambezi rivers and bordering Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. River lodges around Kongola, Bukalo, Divundu and Katima Mulilo offer riverside camping with houseboat cruises, tiger fishing and access to Bwabwata National Park, a stark contrast to the desert landscapes found elsewhere in Namibia — and a natural link on any self-drive route toward Victoria Falls or the Okavango Delta.
