Situated on the northern edges of Namibia, East Caprivi or Itenge is situated in the corner of the Namibian panhandle known as the Caprivi Strip. This off-the-beaten-track destination is made up of vast floodplains, sparkling lakes and lush swamplands dotted with diverse wildlife and an array of bird species. Caprivi East is mostly river country, bounded by the Kwando, Zambezi, Linyanti, and Chobe rivers. The best time to spot a variety of game is the dry winter months of June to October when visitors can spot elephants, buffalo, hippo, zebra, kudu and impala, as well as crocodile, baboon and warthog. Caprivi East is an excellent destination for bird lovers to spot plovers, egrets, herons, and cranes.
