Overview
A narrow panhandle of land between Angola, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Several major rivers — including the Okavango, Kwando, Linyanti, and Zambezi — converge here. The result is wet, green, and full of life in a way the rest of Namibia is not.
Best Time To Visit
May to October — dry season, access easier.
Landscape
Rivers, floodplains, mopane woodland. Green Namibia.
