Things to do
3-
Impalila Island
The Chobe meets the Zambezi at the tip of this island, and the point where four countries come closest together lies just off it. A baobab of considerable age stands near the middle. Access is by boat only, and the lodges on it run fishing and birding trips into the confluence.
-
Mudumu National Park
Mopane woodland and reed beds line the Kwando on the park's western edge, holding elephant, buffalo, sable and a growing number of predators after years of heavy poaching. Community conservancies surround it and run the lodges. Game viewing is best from a boat when the river is high.
-
Nkasa Rupara National Park
Two islands in the Linyanti swamp give this park its name, and in a wet year most of its area is underwater, which makes it the largest protected wetland in the country. Access needs a 4x4 and the tracks close when the flood arrives. Buffalo, hippo and lion are the draw.
