To nejlepší z Caprivi

Zambezi Region Unmissables

The Zambezi Region, formerly the Caprivi Strip, is defined by its extensive river systems including the Okavango, Kwando, and Zambezi. This selection highlights the geological features of Popa Falls and the strategic Katima Mulilo Bridge connecting Namibia to Zambia. Protected areas like Bwabwata and Mudumu National Parks offer specialized viewing points like Horseshoe and Maziba Waterhole, which are critical habitats for large elephant herds and hippos within the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area.
