Why go

Why visit this place?

Nkasa Rupara brings the Chobe-Linyanti river system into the Four Rivers story and protects a critical wildlife corridor near Botswana.

When you arrive

What to expect

Remote four-wheel-drive access, floodplain and island habitats, large mammals, wetland birds, and no expectation of urban services inside the park.

Local knowledge

Local tip

Arrive self-sufficient with recovery equipment and current access information; floodwater can materially change which areas are reachable.

Visiting

Getting there

The road from the junction near Sangwali to reception is an out-and-back access branch before continuing toward Katima Mulilo.

Best time: Dry-season access is generally more dependable; high water can transform the park and may cut off low-lying areas.
