Visit Kavango East Region

Kavango East Region, located in the northeastern part of Namibia, is a lush paradise known for its rich biodiversity and vibrant culture. The region is predominantly inhabited by the Kavango people who are famous for their woodcarving skills. The breathtaking Popa Falls, a series of cascades on the Okavango River, is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. The falls are surrounded by a campsite and birdwatching spots, making it an ideal destination for outdoor activities. Another highlight is the Bwabwata National Park, home to a variety of wildlife including elephants, buffalos, and antelopes. The park is a conservation area that spans the Okavango River and is part of an international peace park that straddles Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. A fascinating historical fact about this region is that it was once part of the German colony of South West Africa until the end of World War I when it was placed under South African administration. Today, Kavango East Region is a testament to Namibia's rich history and natural beauty.
