Kavango River, Namibia

Starting in Angola as the Cubango - the Kavango river forms a 400 km border with Angola
and is part of the massive Okavango basin.

This river and its fertile plains is a lifeline for the Kavango people who fish, farm cattle and cultivate maize, millet and sorghum.

Attractions

Mahungo Game park : a small but well stocked park. Elephants, wildebeest, sable, roan are some of the game to be seen in the park.

Popa Falls: You must not expect to see a waterfall in the true sense of the word. The name is a misnomer as the falls are nothing more than a series of rapids created by a rocky quartzite ledge which obstructs the course of the Kavango River at this point. Although the rapids have a total drop of only about 4 m, they extend across the full width of the river - about 1,2 km at Popa.
