10 Day Unveiling Africa’s Wonders: Etosha National Park to Victoria Falls

Then, after breakfast, we embark on a north-easterly journey toward Namibia’s lush Kavango region. We then travel to Rundu, which is known for its extensive selection of wooden crafts. Kavango’s majestic woodlands and perennial rivers are a stark contrast to Namibia’s other regions. There are large expanses of reed-lined channels, floodplains, and forest covered floodplains. Several of the traditional huts and homesteads that are still in use today can also be found in this region. An optional Okavango River boat cruise can be enjoyed at our lodge.

Meals: Breakfast
Accommodation: Taranga Safari Lodge
Optional Activities: Sundowner Boat Cruise on the Okavango River

Day 4: Mahango National Park, Namibia

Leaving the Okavango River behind, we follow the Zambezi River into the Zambezi Region. A stop in the small town of Divindu allows us to see some of the desert survival skills of the Khwe San bushmen and learn about their culture and traditions. This region of the Zambezi is lush, green, and riverine. A land of contrasts, Namibia is known for its juxtapositions. A large forest of trees and perennial rivers characterize the area. The soil, wildlife, and vegetation in this area vary greatly from those of most of Namibia, which is arid. This is a vibrant hotbed of subsistence farming and cattle grazing, along with well-known wood carving traditions. We are immediately at the feet of our lodge on the banks of the Okavango River, overlooking the Popa Falls, which are a series of small rapids in a paradisiacal setting, before arriving at our lodge near the Mahango National Park, where we will spend the next two nights. Overlooking the Buffalo Park across the river, our rooms offer an unobstructed view. There is also the option of taking a boat cruise on the Okavango River or walking to a local Habukushu village in the late afternoon. Guests can also enjoy wellness treatments at the lodge.
