On Day 10, you embark on the longest journey of this expedition, venturing into the Caprivi Strip. While the route may seem less direct, it's advisable to pass through Grootfontein, a hub for fuel, food, and water supplies to fuel your journey.
Situated at the western end of the Caprivi Strip, Bwabwata National Park remains an often-overlooked gem. Fed by the Cubango River, this park houses an array of wildlife, with integrated park management involving locals who live within its boundaries.

The Caprivi Strip's historical legacy stems from Leo von Caprivi's land negotiation in 1890, securing access to the Zambezi River for Germany. Despite its lushness and abundant waterways, the area has been a constant source of contention, hosting several small but rich national parks along its four major rivers, including the Zambezi. Different from the arid Namibian landscape, this region teems with life, boasting large trees, wildlife like elephants and hippos, and diverse bird species, resembling an extension of the greater Okavango ecosystem.
The road here is less traversed by tourists, offering a different African experience with pastoral communities and diverse wildlife. Sudden, intense thunderstorms may arise, so it's best to remain cautious and patient during these occurrences.

Your Accommodation
Today’s journey takes you on one of the most exciting routes of your adventure, heading east along the primary truck road through the Caprivi Strip. For refueling, there's a stop just after Mahangu at Divundu, along the B8 highway.
Your next two nights will be spent at Nambwa Tented Lodge (DB&B), nestled atop ancient elephant migratory routes amidst towering tree canopies.

Today’s journey proves to be the most straightforward drive, with the majority spent on paved roads. You’re bound for Ghaub Lodge (DB&B), an ex-mission church in Ghaub, now beautifully restored and where you’ll be spending the night.

The nearby Ghaub Cave is quite remarkable, stretching over 2.5 kilometers and reaching depths of approximately 40 meters underground, much of it remaining unexplored due to freshwater flooding. While not the longest or deepest in Namibia, the cave is an intriguing site, connected to the Dragon’s Breath cave, a vast underground lake discovered by chance in 1986. The cave, featuring a type of catfish sustained by organic matter from above, was even highlighted in Blue Planet. Its resemblance to Frank Herbert’s depiction of the fictional dry planet Arakas with an underground lake in ‘Dune’ is fascinating.
Consider joining a Rhino drive (afternoon, 2-3 hrs) through the mountainous 30 square kilometers reserve, home to various game including giraffes, oryx, impalas, and more. White rhinos and elephants are often spotted, accompanied by unique ancestral rock engravings. Joining the ‘Rhino Patrol’ trackers on foot offers an in-depth understanding of rhino behavior, offering a chance for a close encounter, albeit demanding a fair fitness level.
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Hoba Meteorite site, a few miles from Ghaub, discovered accidentally by a farmer in the 1920s. This sixty-ton iron cuboid is the largest meteorite found and landed without creating a significant crater, fascinatingly linked to science fiction works like ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’. If an adventurous day feels overwhelming, a leisurely stroll through Ghaub’s gardens with marked trails and diverse birdlife is a relaxing alternative.

You’ll have the chance to delve into The AfriCat Foundation, established in 1991 to contribute significantly to predator conservation in Namibia's natural habitat. The foundation conducts research and educational projects across the country.
Activities here require advance booking. Consider partaking in morning game drives led by experienced guides and ending the day with sunset game drives through the acacia thicket in search of elusive leopards.
A plethora of activities awaits at Okonjima: embark on a Night Drive or spend hours with a ranger at a Night Hide for the chance to spot bat-eared foxes, aardwolf, owls, honey badgers, and porcupines. Opt for Rhino Tracking, Pangolin Tracking, Leopard Tracking, or the Endangered Species Nature Drive focusing on hyenas, rhinos, and foxes.
On the last day of your African journey, you can seize the morning with a game drive or another activity at Okonjima before breakfast.
