Introducing Rundu
Rundu, a sultry tropical outpost on the bluffs above the Okavango River, has little of specific interest for tourists, but it’s great to laze at one of the lodges alongside the river, especially if you want to break up the long drive to or from the Caprivi Strip. It’s also a centre of activity for Namibia’s growing Angolan community. Every May at Rundu Beach, locals put on the Anything that Floats regatta, accompanied by the usual drinking, dining and socialising.

The tourism centre (256140; ngandu@mweb.com; Kakakuru St; 8am-5pm Mon-Fri, 8am-1pm Sat), run by the same folks as Ngandu Safari Lodge, can provide basic tourist information.
The well-stocked Okavango Pharmacy (Siwaronga St) is probably the best in northern Namibia.
If you’re shopping for crafts, be sure to visit the Khemo Open Market, which has a good selection of Kavango woodcarvings.
