Popa Falls

Popa Falls are really not much more than a pretty set of rapids on the Okavango River created by a rocky ledge. Most impressive in the rainy season, the falls have a drop of about 3 metres and extend across the full width of the river. After the Popa Falls the Okavango river spreads out to form the remarkable inland Okavango Delta.

The Popa Falls are an important habitat for two rare fish species; broadhead catfish and ocellated spinyeel. On the south bank of the Okavango River is a restcamp in the diminutive Popa Game Park. Game viewing opportunities are scarce here, but the bird life is rich.
