Landscape

The main habitat of the Zambezi Region (Caprivi Strip) is the Woodland savannah.

It is the only region of Namibia that is almost entirely in the tropics; it consists largely of flat marshland. The Zambezi region is flat and has no distinctive physical features. Several broad, tropical rivers, such as the Kwando and Zambezi, form the main landmarks. Thirty percent of the Eastern Zambezi Region can be flooded during rains, making it similar to the more famous neighbouring Okavango Delta. The vegetation is lush and tropical with many magnificent tree species.
