Caprivi Strip – Namibia’s Green Treasure

The Caprivi Strip offers a lush contrast to the rest of Namibia, with its green landscapes and water-rich environment, as rivers like the Zambezi and Okavango flow through the region. Families can enjoy boat trips to spot hippos and crocodiles - an exciting adventure for all! The area’s relaxed atmosphere makes it especially family-friendly.

Tips for the Perfect Family Trip to Namibia

  • Rent a 4x4: An off-road vehicle is essential for exploring Namibia. It offers flexibility and easy access to all the highlights, with plenty of space for luggage—and those inevitable “sand finds” from the kids! For even more adventure and freedom, consider renting a car with a roof tent.
  • Self-Catering Mode: Supermarkets aren’t found on every corner in Namibia, so be sure to stock up in Windhoek or Swakopmund. This way, you can enjoy spontaneous picnics in the wild and always have enough snacks for the journey.
  • Health Care: The sun can be intense, so make sure to pack sunscreen and plenty of water to stay hydrated and protected.

Whether you’re whizzing down dunes, watching elephants at a waterhole, or stargazing under the vast night sky, Namibia is filled with adventures that will leave you with unforgettable memories.Get ready to create plenty of new favorite moments - Namibia will capture your heart!

Pack your bags, your family adventure is calling!
