We were invited to join a trip to the Caprivi region and were thus able to fulfill a lifelong dream. We drove to Katima Mulilo via Kaisosi Lodge, Ngepi Camp and Namushasha Lodge. We then spent four days on a houseboat trip on the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers before returning to Windhoek via Mahangu Safari Lodge. This is an account of some of the birds and animals seen on this wonderful trip.
