Move along the river with a local guide as fishing banks, floodplain farms, birds and the Angola shore replace Namibia's dry interior.

The experience

See how one river organizes life on both banks

At Rundu, the Kavango is not only wildlife habitat but a working river bordered by farms, fishing places and settlements on the Namibian and Angolan banks.

A local boat guide explains the seasonal water and daily traffic while birds, reeds and cultivated land replace the thorny interior crossed to reach it.

Experience FAQ

Travel the Kavango River by boat

Q01Is this a wildlife cruise?

Plan with Alex

Plan the Kavango boat

Cross Deadvlei at dawn, follow desert wildlife tracks near Swakopmund and wait beside an Etosha waterhole as elephants emerge through the dust.

We will begin with your dates, your pace and the image that brought Namibia into your mind. From there, I will draw the journey that belongs to you.

Portrait of Alex

I want Namibia's defining moments at their best: Deadvlei before the heat, the living desert while tracks are still sharp, Etosha as elephants approach the water. Around them, we make time for the guides, makers and conservationists who turn a beautiful road into a journey you understand.
