Northeast Namibia becomes the part Namibia called, which can be regarded as a separate travel destination due to its peripheral location to the rest of the country and its special geography. Northeast Namibia essentially consists of the regions Kavango and Caprivi. How quite Northern Namibia, this area is also more tropical and less influenced by European influences. But it also offers impressive national parks and an authentic African cultural landscape.

climate
Kavango and Caprivi are part of the northern foothills of the Kalahari basin, a high plateau at an altitude of about 1000 m. Like all of northern Namibia, northeastern Namibia belongs to the tropics, which means that the regions are significantly greener than Central- and South Namibia. Malaria and other vaccinations are advisable. The south of Kavango is mostly steppe or savannah in which safaris sometimes take place, the Caprivi is not accessible at all over large parts of the marshland and away from the main roads.
