Northeastern Namibia

Introducing Northeastern Namibia

This region, which includes the formerly dangerous Caprivi Strip, forms a stark contrast to the aridity of much of the rest of the country. Here water flows year-round. This is a tranquil area of stunning sunsets and lazy days. Spend some time relaxing on the banks of the mighty Okavango River, doing nothing more than listening to the hippos call. Although once an area whose name was synonymous with danger due to the intermittent civil wars in Angola, today the Caprivi Strip is perfectly safe. Angola signed a peace accord in April 2002 and problems in the area ceased.
