Saturday 28th August - Divava to Namushasha Distance: 260km Today's drive along which is mostly along The Caprivi Strip - the wettest part of Namibia, and until the road was built, virtually impassable during the wet season. An unremarkable part of the country and a very straight road.The final 30kms are again off-road down to our accommodation - The Namushasha Country Lodge.A luxury bush lodge situated on the banks of the Kwando River amid lush tropical ve...
