Caprivi
Information
Crossing the Border to ZambiaThe border post near Wanella (Wenella) lies 4 km north of Katima Mulilo. On the Zambia side it is called Sesheke. You get the required visa directly at the border post. Further information on Zambia you will find on the website of the Zambia Tourism Board.
Since 2004, the Zambesi River can be comfortably crossed via the new bridge. The road to Livingstone at the Victoria Falls is tarred all the way, but drive slowly. The 193 km from Sesheke to Livingstone at the Victoria Falls can easily take you 4 hours. The roads in Zambia are generally disastrous, especially when travelling in the rainy season. A 4x4 is useful.
If you want to get to Victoria Falls, you can still go through Botswana (border post at Ngoma Bridge) and Zimbabwe, despite the present problems in Zimbabwe. However, take enough fuel and food and be prepared for long waiting times at the border.
Malaria
The entire north-east of Namibia and the neighbouring countries are within the malaria area. One should take a prophylactic, especially in the rainy seasons and, most importantly, protect yourself from mosquito bites.

Travel Information - West Caprivi |
Bwabwata National ParkThe entire Western Caprivi today is a game reserve. In the year 2002 the former Mahango Game Park and the Western Caprivi Game Park were joined to the new Bwabwata National Park. The park stretches from the rivers Okavango and Kwando, covering an area of more than 5000 square kms. Over 8000 elephants as well as buffalo, hippos, many antelope species, hyenas, lions and leopards inhabit this area. No permit is needed for using the Trans Caprivi Highway. But there are also no fences! So keep your eyes open!
Popa FallsThe Popa Waterfalls lie 210 km east of Rundu at the Okavango river. There are a number of rapids, surrounded by stunning nature. The restcamp makes for a good stopover or base for the exploration of the Bwabwata Park. The camp offers plain thatched huts with 2 rooms and four beds. Instead of cooking facilities, there is a fireplace in front of each hut. Bedding and towels are provided. B&B. The camp has a tuckshop, but no petrol station. Petrol is available in Bagani Bridge or in Mukwe, 17 kilometres to the west.

Travel Information - East Caprivi |
Economic centre of the East-Caprivi region is the small town of Katima Mulilo, located directly on the banks of the quiet Zambesi River. The town enjoys a true African atmosphere. The extensive African open-air market is well worth to be visited. Here, you will get almost anything you are looking for. The new Zambesi bridge in Wanella, completed in 2004, has made Katima the traffic hub for the Namibia-Zambia traffic.|
