Formerly known as the Caprivi Strip, Namibia’s Zambezi Region feels like another world. Lush, green, and threaded with rivers, it stands in striking contrast to the country’s deserts. Here, elephants cross floodplains, hippos wallow in lagoons, and birdlife abounds in the wetlands. With its proximity to Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, the Zambezi is a gateway to Victoria Falls and the Okavango, but it also offers its own off-the-beaten-path safari magic.
