Location and Geography of the Caprivi
The Caprivi, a narrow strip of land in the far northeast of Namibia, is approximately 400 km long and borders Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It is also incorporated into the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area.
Climate and Waterways
The Caprivi falls within the tropical climate zone and receives the highest rainfall figures in Namibia, mainly between December and March. Major rivers such as the Kavango, Kwando, and Zambezi flow through this region, originating from catchment areas in Angola and Zambia.
The Okavango Delta and Natural Wonders
The mouth of the Okavango Delta, known as the Panhandle, is situated in the Caprivi region and offers a magical journey filled with culture, birds, mammals, and flora.
Culture and Traditions
The local communities are ruled by their Fumu (King) and largely maintain their
traditional way of life. Two kilometres west of the lodge lies one of the
scenic highlights of Western Caprivi—the Popa Falls.
Popa Falls – Rapids and Natural Beauty
More rapids than falls, the Kavango River breaks through a four-metre-high rocky intrusion amidst islands dotted with pristine forests surrounded by aquatic vegetation.
Nunda Safari Lodge – A Central Destination
Nunda Safaris Lodge is centrally situated as a destination in itself. Spend at least two days or more exploring the region before travelling onwards to the Okavango Delta, East Caprivi, Zambia, or Victoria Falls.
