A fascinating region of history and culture and of swamps, rivers, woodland and forests. An area of fantastic wildlife, birdlife, fauna and flora of not forgetting great fishing.

All of this is easy to understand when taking into account that the Okavango Delta lies just to the South, and the Chobe National Park just to the South-East will no fences stopping the wildlife from freely moving between the two countries.
