Safari from Katima Mulilo

Katima Mulilo is the eastern service gateway where the Four Rivers Safari Route reaches the Zambezi.

The regional capital provides the natural endpoint for the Namibia circuit and a place to understand onward connections without pretending they are part of this route.

Flood levels, heat, border formalities, and the condition of southern access roads should be checked independently for the intended season.

Return from Nkasa Rupara to the junction near Sangwali, then follow the public road north and east to Katima Mulilo.
