Caprivi Region
Caprivi is a tropical area in northeastern Namibia, bordering Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It receives heavy rains during the rainy season from December to March, and high temperatures throughout the year. Its terrain is well vegetated, made up mostly of swamps, floodplains, wetlands and woodlands.
Described as Namibia's answer to the Okavango Delta, Caprivi is a game-rich area. More than 400 bird species inhabit the area, which contains three game reserves. Other attractions include the Popa Falls (more a series of rapids than a waterfall, but still a remarkable sight) and Katima Mulilo, the pleasant capital of the region.
