Caprivi

The Caprivi region is Botswana Lite: it's on the same floodplain as Botswana, has the same rivers flowing through it, and the same species migrate between the two nations throughout their seasonal migratory routes.

Botswana frequently puts our clients' budgets in jeopardy, forcing us to revise our suggestions.

Enter the Caprivi, a wildness off the main path. The safari lodges in the Caprivi provide an experience of the African wilderness that you've undoubtedly imagined since viewing The Lion King. And you will not be let down. The safari lodges' beauty, animals, birdlife, quiet, and elegance are on par with the more costly places further south.

It also serves as a vital link for uncommon animals travelling inland and towards the coast, including the Namibian elephant and the African wild dog.

Following a civil conflict in the 1990s, the region is now focusing on its distinctive flora and wildlife, which includes zebras in Mahango Game Reserve, blue wildebeest in Bwabwata, and green grassland in Salambala Conservancy.
