Caprivi
Caprivi is a small, narrow strip of land squashed between Namibia and Angola, an bordering onto Botswana and Zimbabwe. The official (new) name is Zambezi region. With 5 major rivers (Zambezi, Okavango, Kwando, Linyanti, Chobe) and 4 game reserves (Bwabwata, Mahango, Mudumo, Nkasa Rupara) within its borders, it is paradise for nature lovers. This video takes you on an overland tour through the Caprivi.
Episode 5 (Mahango Game Reserve) - Overlanding Botswana, Namibia & Zambia
THE DESTINATION: Victoria Falls
THE ROUTE: Departing from Cape Town we took the scenic route through the national parks (Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Khaudum National Park and The Mahango Game Park) ...continued along the Caprivi Strip to Katima Mulilo and then crossed over into Zambia.
--
While staying at one of the most amazing spots in Divundu, Namibia - Ngepi Gamp - we decided to make the short drive to Mahango Game Reserve. The park is great for morning or maybe even day trip and has a huge variety of animals for you to see. Well worth the visit if you're in the area.

Exploring Namibias Spectacular Caprivi Strip
Exploring Namibia's Spectacular Caprivi Strip
1 of 9
Unique Caprivi
Extending from the northeast corner of Namibia like an alien limb, the Caprivi Strip feels as far removed from the rest of the country as it looks on the map. Four of Southern Africa’s most impressive rivers (the Kavango, the Chobe, the Zambezi and the Cuando) run through the region at various points, transforming the Caprivi into a lush green oasis. Namibia may be most famous for the ochre dunes of Sossusvlei, or for the arid valleys and granite koppies of Damaraland, but it is in the verdant heart of the Caprivi that the country’s beauty is most tangible.
2 of 9
Life on the River
Here, life revolves around the water. The bustling town of Rundu lies along the banks of the Kavango River, and constitutes the westernmost gateway to the Caprivi. Nearby, several lodges offering varying degrees of luxury provide an insight into the lives of the local people, for whom the Kavango is an essential resource. At Hakusembe River Lodge, one can watch from the restaurant’s sun-drenched deck as residents of the Angolan villages on the opposite bank come down to the water to fish, bathe, wash their clothes and water their multicolored herds of Nguni cattle.
3 of 9
A Green Oasis
Further into the Caprivi, several lodges run tours that take visitors into the local settlements, allowing them to experience Caprivian culture for themselves. The abundance of water in a country otherwise plagued by drought also serves to make the region a hotspot for eco-tourists, with several game parks offering a greener alternative to the famous (yet often waterless) plains of more southerly Etosha National Park.
4 of 9
Incredible Wildlife
Thanks to their ability to sustain a greater variety of life, parks like Mahango yield different sightings to those further south. Here, it is possible to spot rare antelope species including the red lechwe, the tsessebe and the sitatunga. Great herds of African elephant play frivolously in the shallows, transforming water into curtains of falling diamonds as they spray it into the air and across their dark gray backs.
5 of 9
A Birder's Paradise
In particular, the Caprivi is known for its birdlife. Its riverine habitats support over 500 resident and migratory species, including some area specials that are typically found only in the Caprivi and Okavango regions. Amongst these are the coppery-tailed coucal, the slaty egret and the brown firefinch; while birding trips like those offered at Nunda River Lodge offer the opportunity to see the magnificent African skimmer up close and personal.
6 of 9
Off the Beaten Track
Above all, the Caprivi is worth visiting for its innate sense of adventure. Conflict, both during colonial times and more recently, defines the region’s history, thanks to its strategic importance in providing access from Namibia to the mighty Zambezi River. Between 2000 and 2002, unrest in bordering Angola meant that tourists could only traverse the Caprivi as part of a military convoy. Today, the region is considered stable, and a sense of peace has descended upon its idyllic waterways.
7 of 9
The Magic of the Wild
It’s a feeling that starts to seep into the bloodstream as soon as the tourist vehicles that overrun southern Namibia are replaced by local taxis on the road northwards. It’s the expansion of the soul that comes with the soft glimmer of sunset on the still waters of the Chobe River; or with the explosion of stars across a sky untainted by light pollution. Despite the Caprivi’s wildness, it remains surprisingly accessible.
8 of 9
When to Visit
In terms of season, the best time to go depends on what one wants from a visit to the Caprivi. Weather-wise, the southern hemisphere winter (June - August) offers cooler temperatures and drier days, while the rainy summer months (November - January) are best for birding. Game-viewing is at its best in September and October, when the lack of water elsewhere forces wildlife to flock to the rivers for survival.
9 of 9
Staying Safe
It is important to note that malaria is a problem throughout the Caprivi region, especially during the summer months when precautions should be taken to avoid infection. However, don’t let the practical side of preparing for a trip to Africa’s wild side put you off. After all, it’s this wildness that makes the Caprivi so special and ensures that whatever time of year you choose to visit, you’ll be glad that you did

Safari part 3 of 7 Nunda River Lodge and Mahango National Park
We travelled into Namibia via the Okavango panhandle and had 3 days at Nunda River Lodge, camping by the hippos and crocodiles in the river! We explored Mahango game park, where we got stuck in sand, and went on a boat cruise on the Kavango river.

Namibia erleben/Teil 62-Mahango National Park
If you are looking for somewhere “off the beaten track” with a true wilderness feel, the Mahango area of the Bwabwata National Park is well worth considering. Located in the north east of Namibia on the Botswana border, the contrasting vegetation of the 25 400 hectare Mahango Game Reserve is widely considered one of Namibia’ s most varied and fascinating conservation areas.
There are three distinct habitats that can be identified, the river, which offers a blend of trees, reeds and grasses along its banks and on the wetlands. One tree that you will quickly recognize is the baobab. The Omurambas, which are fossil rivers, are covered with open grassland with tall acacia and bushwillow around the borders. Between the Mahango Omuramba in the north and the Thinderevu Omuramba in the south the vegetation is open dry woodland with some thick patches of Zambezi teak, wild seringa and wild teak.
Year round water ensures an abundance of game, however, during the dry winter months, April-November, your chances of seeing game is higher as the animals seek out the river and waterholes.. Mahango is home to many antelope, if you are fortunate you may spot; roan, sable, reedbuck, tsessebe, sitatunga, red lechwe, kudu, Chobe bushbuck , Duiker and Steenbok.
Apart from antelope you can expect to see Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wildog, Hippo, Crocodile, Warthog Baboon and Vervet Monkey.. The large herds of elephant are migrants, moving between Angola and the Okavango Delta, outside the dry season sightings will be fewer. During the wet summer months, November-March, birdlife is prolific. After it rains various trees flower and bear fruit attracting an abundance of insects and creating a birding paradise. Over 400 bird species have been recorded in the Mahango Reserve.
This area is remote with very little in the way of development. Apart from the main road running through the park, linking Namibia to Botswana, there are only two other “tracks”.
The track to the east follows the river, it is approximately 15kms and is suitable for conventional vehicles. The track to the west is only suitable for 4x4 vehicles. This trail is approximately 31kms and follows the course of the two fossil rivers in the park , the Mahango and Thinderevu. The drive through this unspoilt bush is spectacular but it is important to know that these roads can be very sandy in the dry season and very slippery in the wet.
Unguided walking is permitted, but there are dangers, for the ultimate experience you may decide to employ the services of a knowledgeable local guide who is familiar with the region.
