Bwabwata Nationalpark, Namibia

Enjoy the view of the water and the bush around you.

What you can experience here

On your drive to the viewpoint you pass the ruins of an old military station. In the dense forest you can spot elephants during the day as they search for food. This viewpoint is the perfect first stop right on the Okavango. Enjoy the view of the water and the bush around you.

By the way, the ruins date back to the time when the Caprivi Strip was at the centre of the Namibian liberation war against the South African army. It was only in 1990 that Namibia gained independence and the park could be properly managed as a protected area.
