With over 200km of waterways to explore in the Caprivi Region of Namibia, we offer the opportunity to experience a unique African Adventure. Enjoy, with the river as your viewing platform, the splendor of three of the regions special rivers and their fascinating array of fauna and flora.
Zambezi River
The Zambezi River is the fourth largest river system in Africa. Beginning it’s journey as an insignificant little spring in the northwest corner of Zambia it runs for a length of 2700km through six countries, thundering over the Victoria Falls, through lake Kariba and finally completing it’s fascinating journey in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. For 130km this river forms the border between Namibia and Zambia, and it is here in the Eastern Caprivi Region that your adventure begins. Travel at a leisurely pace down the expanse of this mighty river with its endless floodplains and breathtaking sunsets. In the evening relax around the warmth of a campfire on a secluded white sandbank before heading to the comfort of your tent, gently rocking to sleep to the sounds of an African Night.
With 84 fish species abundant in these rivers, ample angling opportunities are on offer. Famous for it’s tiger fish and bream, these rivers promise to challenge and enthrall both the angling enthusiast and the novice. Test your skills in the art of fly-fishing among the fast flowing rapids or lure in a record fish on your trusted rapala.
The Caprivi Region is home to over 400 wetland and woodland bird species. Here you can view in abundance the African Skimmer, Open-Billed Stork, Carmine and White Fronted Bee Eaters, Pied Kingfisher, Malachite Kingfisher and Wattled and White Crowned Plover, to name just a few. The floodplains also provide breeding sites for birds with a limited range elsewhere in Southern Africa. They include the African Fin Foot, Schalow’s Turaco, Sousa’s Shrike, Rock Pratincole, Shelley’s Sunbird and Collared Sunbird.
Chobe River
Forming the southern border between the Eastern Caprivi and Botswana, the Chobe River meanders eastwards to meet the Zambezi River at Kazangula. Here you travel from the Zambezi River, through the Casaia channel and into the Chobe River at Impalila Island, slowly making your way into magical waters at the edge of the Chobe River National Park.
Here you can enjoy the abundance of wildlife that makes this area famous. Being on the river gives a new dimension to game viewing – the animals showing an almost fearless disdain for a floating object - and allows you to come closer to a large variety of game including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, sable antelope, hippo and crocodile and many more species of buck. Numerous bird species add to nature’s unending display. Specials in this area include the Slaty Egret, Coppery Tailed Coucal and Pels Fishing Owl.
Kwando River
Cradled between the enigmatic Okavango River to the west and the Zambezi River to the east, the Kwando River offers it’s own beguiling sense of magic. Considered the hidden jewel of the Caprivi, the Kwando River is smaller and more secluded than it’s neighboring rivers. Listen to the haunting cry of the African Fish Eagle that defines the essence of these inland waters while meandering gracefully through the heartland of the pristine wilderness of the Madumu and Mamili National Parks. Here you might catch a glimpse of the elusive sititunga and puku or among the reeds spot the elusive Rufous Bellied Heron. Large herds of elephant frequent the area, as well as buffalo, red lechwe, roan antelope, wild dog and impala. Along with the many species of fish, including tiger fish and bream, hippo and crocodiles also inhabit these waters.
