	Namibia Safari & Travel Guide - Caprivi Strip
		A lush water-fed area, the narrow extension of land known as the Caprivi Strip protrudes eastwards from the extreme north-east of Namibia, adjoining Zimbabwe and Zambia.
		Although the wildlife in the Caprivi has not yet recovered from years of poaching and the destructive bushwar of the 1970s and 80s, it is a superb conservation area that may in the future rival Etosha.
		Open throughout the year, the Caprivi Game Park is dominated by broad-leafed deciduous woodlands comprising wild seringa, copalwood and Zambezi teak.
