Caprivi Game Reserve is encompassed by the newly created Bwabwata National Park is located in a narrow extension of northeast Namibia sandwiched between Angola and Botswana. The park can be reached from Etosha National Park via Rundu or from Zambia via Katima Mulilo. The distance from Rundu to Katima Mulilo is 542 kilometers, with the game reserve along the Okavango River covering about 180 kilometers of this distance along the main highway.

There are few tourist facilities as the terrain is extremely sandy. Hence, a 4X4 vehicle is a pre-requisite for enjoying this game park to the fullest. The terrain is generally flat with deciduous woodlands, except for some 97-195 feet high (30-60m) dunes covered in vegetation. The Caprivi Safari Adventure also offers bush walks and sundowners while floating on the pontoons. The Caprivi Strip is well-known for inhabiting over 400 species of birds - the highest number of recorded bird species in Namibia.

Caprivi Game Reserve is now encompassed in the newly established Bwabwata National Park , which covers and protects a substantial portion of the Caprivi Strip in northeast Namibia between Angola and Botswana. The Zambezi Region formerly known as Caprivi Strip is one of the excellent bird-watching destinations in Africa and has over 450 species recorded. It supports many birds not found elsewhere in the country. Most of the Okavango specials can be seen here, including slaty egret, racket-tailed roller and wattled crane. Permanent water in the area makes it a common stopover for many migrants from Eurasia and elsewhere in Africa, from November to April. A variety of waders is abundant throughout the year.

It's basically an extension of the Okavango in northern Botswana. During the 1980's the reserve was used as a military training ground during the independence struggle with South Africa, and during much of the 1990's it was used as a private hunting reserve for the president of Namibia. It has since been set aside as part of the national park and game populations have been recovering since then. The main highway traverses the length of the park, but the park is otherwise still unspoiled wilderness.

The park is very tropical, with heavy rainfall during rainy season from December-March. The habitat is mostly swamps, floodplain, wetland, Mopane woodland, and riverine woodland. The park is a popular game-viewing destination during dry season. It features substantial herds of elephant, zebra, wildebeest, cape buffalo, antelope, lion, cheetah, leopard, and spotted hyena. Over 430 bird species have been recorded in the park. Birding is best during rainy season when the weather is least pleasant.

The unrivaled beauty of the rivers meeting together and flowing into the Caprivi Strip and going out into the Okavango Delta is home to about 100 different exotic species of fish. This is the reason why the Caprivi Strip is famous for sporting world's best fish out there. Tigerfish can be caught in the Zambezi River. A record of catching Bream fish of about 10 kg has been famous for this place.
