Namibia's smallest game park is big on birds, with more than 400 species recorded here. The park conserves a small patch of riverine forest on the west bank of the Okavango River and on small islands. The course of the river is interrupted by a quartzite ledge, creating a four-metre-high series of rapids, known as the Popa Falls, before the river continues on its journey to Botswana and the Okavango Delta.
