Zambezi Region

The Zambezi Region, also known as Caprivi Strip, is a narrow strip of land in northeastern Namibia, bordering Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. It is characterized by lush wetlands, riverine forests, and diverse wildlife, making it unique in Namibia. The region is named after the Zambezi River, which flows through it, supporting agriculture and fishing. Despite its natural beauty and strategic location, it remains less developed than other parts of Namibia. The area is culturally rich, with various ethnic groups, and is important for conservation and tourism focused on its wildlife and natural landscapes.
