Caprivi (the Zambezi Region) Safari Trips & Tours

The ‘finger’ that touches Vic Falls is a luscious region with several unexplored but worthy parks.
Rich and tropical, lush and wet… are we still in Namibia? Yes, the Caprivi Strip (now known as the Zambezi Region) to be precise, Namibia’s spindly north-eastern ‘finger’ that touches reaches out across the top of Botswana and to the mighty Zambezi River. Criss-crossed by the Okavango, Linyanti and Chobe rivers, the area is dotted with waterfalls and crashing rapids and home to an excellent selection of water-loving species including hippo and buffalo, crocs and waterbuck, and a phenomenal variety of birds. Now in the hands of a particularly progressive group of conservationists, the wildlife is only getting better and, combined with a smattering of hip lodges and several unknown but utterly fantastic parks, the Caprivi is a destination and a half.

From the moment we landed in Zimbabwe to the minute we left Namibia, every aspect of the trip went flawlessly. We were in good hands throughout. No travel hiccups whatsoever.

Really helpful and efficient advice on general logistics and places to stay, and a very flexible booking process accommodating tweaks to the itinerary, highly recommend 👍
