Katima Mulilo

The small town of Katima Mulilo, in Namibia's Caprivi Strip, is located on the Zambezi River, with its lush riverine vegetation, and colourful tropical birds and monkeys.

As with most African borders that were unnaturally formed, the splitting of tribes into different countries resulted in cross border strife. In mid 1999 there was an uprising and calls for a separate independent state in the region.

Walk around the town. and you can view some interesting colonial architecture. There is also a tourist information centre in town which can be very usefull. Katima Mulilo is very close to the Namibia/Zambia border post at Wenella which is normally open from 06h00 to 18h00 daily.
