Safari from Rundu

Rundu is the western organizing gateway for the Four Rivers Safari Route and its first sustained contact with the Okavango River system.

It is a substantial service town on the recognized route before the long eastbound progression through Divundu, Bwabwata, and the Zambezi Region.

River levels, heat, rain, and road conditions change through the year; confirm the access calendar for each protected area rather than treating the whole route as one season.

From Rundu, follow the B8 east to Divundu, through Bwabwata, and toward Kongola before turning south for the wetland parks.
