Accommodation in Caprivi & Kavango
includes: Rundu, Katima Mulilo and the Chobe, Kunene, Zambezi & Kwando Rivers
The far north eastern areas of Namibia are called the Caprivi Strip & Kavango - here the dusty dry desert climate that is the rest of the country gives way to wetter, greener tropical conditions. Many of the lodges, hotels & accommodation establishments found in these areas are situated on the banks of one of the regions main rivers (the Kwando, Kavango & Zambezi) or one of their tributaries.
Activities from these establishments is often water based, with game viewing by boat and sundown river cruises being particularly popular at most lodges. The wildlife found in the area is also strikingly different to that which one would expect to find in the rest of Namibia - here hippos and waterbuck are likely to roam past your lodge room, while crocodiles rest on sandbanks along the rivers.
