Namibia's Caprivi

Caprivi has 2 of the five permanently flowing rivers in Namibia - namely the Zambezi and the Kwando.

In years of heavy rainfall these rivers will flood over extensive areas.

One third is in fact a floodplain.

The Caprivi offers year round angling with approx. 130 kms of unrestricted fishing water from Katima Mulilo to Impalila island.

As well as the infamous Tigerfish other species includes Nembwe, Humpback and Thinface Largemouth bream, 3 spot bream, Redbreast, Green and Pink bream.

The Sesheke Bridge between Namibia and Zimbabwe was opened during 2004 - completing the 2100kms TransCaprivi Highway to link the port of Walvis Bay with the Zambian capital Lusaka.

Most rainfalls in summer, peaking in January and February.

Hottest months are September, October and November.

The Caprivi is also home to over 400 bird species including Rosy throated Long Claw, the migrant African Skimmer, the rare Sousa Shrike and Shelley Sunbird.
