WETLANDS
If there ever was a Garden of Eden, the Caprivi would
surely have been that place on earth.
The region has been blessed with Africa's most special
gifts - a unique and complex network of rivers, riverine
forests, flood plains, swamps and open woodlands,
teeming with wildlife and bird life. Elephants, hippo and
buffalo roam this pristine area. There are more than
400 bird species in the region, this represents more
than 70% of the total number found in Namibia. There
is the renowned Popa Falls with its series of rapids, the
Mahango Game Park has the largest concentration of
sable in the world, the Mudumu National Park with
100 000 ha of woodlands and wetlands.
The Mamili National Park is the largest wetland with
conservation status in Namibia.
