Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Zambezi Region different from the rest of Namibia?
Unlike the arid Namib Desert or Etosha, the Zambezi Region (formerly Caprivi) is tropical, green, and surrounded by major rivers like the Zambezi, Kwando, and Chobe.
Are there crocodiles and hippos in this area?
Yes, extensively. The river systems host very dense populations. Always keep a safe distance from riverbanks and never swim in the waterways.
