Not desert, but wetlands fed by the Okavango, Kwando, Chobe, and Zambezi, alive with wildlife.

Under an agreement with Britain, it acquired the thin corridor to the Zambezi River, giving German South West Africa access to one of Africa’s great waterways. The strip was named after Chancellor Leo von Caprivi. 2/n https://t. 120.3K views · 483 likes · 8 reposts · 2 replies 13 Aug 2026 Have you ever wondered why Namibia has a bizarre, 450km-long (280 mi) strip of land sticking out of its top-right corner? It’s called the Caprivi Strip. It exists largely because 19th-century Germany wanted access to a river, without understanding what lay downstream… 1/n http 947.4K views · 3K likes · 185 reposts · 64 replies 13 Aug 2026
