The Caprivi, a narrow strip of land in the far North East of Namibia, is approximately 400 km long bordering Angola, Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The Caprivi is also incorporated into the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. GPS: S 18º 07.032 E 21º 35.905, Airstrip GPS: S 18º 07.0 E 21º 37.5.

It falls within the tropical climate zone and receives the highest rainfall figures in Namibia, mainly between December and March. Major rivers such as the Kavango, Kwando and Zambezi flow through this region, originating from the catchment areas in Angola and Zambia.

The mouth of the Okavango Delta, known as the Panhandle, is situated in the Caprivi region and lends itself to a magical journey of culture, birds, mammals and flora.

They are ruled by their Fumu (King) and largely maintain their traditional way of life. Two kilometres west of the Lodge lies one of the scenic highlights of Western Caprivi, the Popa Falls. More rapids than falls, the Kavango River breaks through a four meter high rocky intrusion amidst islands dotted with pristine forests surrounded by aquatic vegetation.

Nunda Safaris Lodge is centrally situated as a destination in itself. Spend at least two days or more exploring the region before travelling on to the Okavango Delta, East Caprivi, Zambia or Victoria Falls.
