Read our blog about traveling to the Caprivi Strip:

The Caprivi Strip, officially known as Zambezi Region, is one of Namibia’s most unique and biodiverse destinations. Stretching eastward between Botswana, Zambia, and Angola, this narrow strip of land contrasts sharply with Namibia’s arid landscapes, offering lush wetlands, winding rivers, abundant wildlife, and rich cultural experiences.

Explore the lush Caprivi Strip in Namibia, a wildlife paradise with safaris, river adventures, and rich cultural experiences!

October is one of the best months to witness the stunning Southern Carmine bee-eater in Botswana! This vibrant, eye-catching bird is an intra-African migrant that typically breeds in northern Botswana, as well as the Zambezi Region of Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia from August to November.

During this period, the bee-eaters nest along riverbanks, putting on a spectacular show as they fill the skies with flashes of brilliant red. After breeding, they remain for several months until the rainy season passes, before migrating north toward the equator.

For birdwatchers and nature lovers, this is the perfect time to visit Botswana and experience the incredible beauty of the Southern Carmine bee-eater in its natural habitat. Book your trip and enjoy one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildlife spectacles! http://www.caprivi-accommodation.com/

River Dance along the Kavango river in the Zambezi District is one of those wow places. Their rooms are luxurious and very private. From your bed, or the veranda and even out of your bath, you can enjoy an unspoilt view over the river and deep into Angola.

At River Dance you are always aware that this is a very special place with excellent views.

Namibia's Caprivi Strip, a 280-mile-long panhandle, only exists as is because Germans thought the Zambezi would lead to the Indian Ocean. Too bad Victoria Falls got in the way.

AIR NAM RESTORES FLIGHTS TO RUNDU, KATIMA MULILO

Air Namibia has decided to restore its flights between Windhoek and Rundu, as well as between Windhoek and Katima Mulilo. The new flights will operate from Eros airport instead of Hosea Kutako International Airport.

Air Namibia took a decision to change the landing terminal in March, a move met with disdain from many passengers, particularly business travellers. Many passengers had complained it would be more costly and was likely to inconvenience them to land and board flights at Hosea Kutako.

Air Namibia seems to have succumbed to public pressure and recently ran a weeklong notice of schedule changes for flights to Katima Mulilo, Rundu and Ondangwa. Air Namibia had earlier clarified that their decision to re-route flights to Hosea Kutako was necessitated by traffic growth, as well as to minimise costs.

BWABWATA HIT BY POACHERS

Namibia’s Bwabwata National Park has lost an elephant to poaching. The carcass was found last week by villagers.

The elephant had its tusks intact as the poachers appear to have hurriedly left the scene of the poaching after they were possibly startled before they could cut the tusks from the animal.

Namibia has in recent years seen an upsurge in elephant and rhino poaching prompting the government to deploy teams of Namibian Defence Force (NDF) soldiers in the worst affected parks, besides drones mounted with surveillance cameras.

Bwabwata suffered heavily from poaching during the 1970s and 1980s, but wildlife numbers recovered significantly since proper management was been implemented. Last year, however, 33 elephants were poached in Bwabwata, Mudumu and Nkasa Rupara National Parks, which raises concern for the elephant population in the area again.
