However, you do not have to give up technology – with an excellent infra structure, cellphone reception  at  major  towns,  up-to-date  Lodges  with their excellent game drives near the reserves, you will find all the necessities and even luxuries in Katima Mulilo, the capital town of the Caprivi Region.

Transport and shuttle services can be organized quickly to the Victoria Falls going through either Botswana’s Chobe Game reserve to the town of Vic Falls in Zimbabwe, or crossing the newly constructed bridge across the Zambezi river and driving to Livingstone, Zambia.

A booze cruise and fishing trip is a must.  Most  fishermen support catch-and-release.  The Nembwe (Green Bream) and Threespot Tilapia makes for excellent eating  while Tigerfish will give every angler their sports for the day.  Crocodiles and hippo are commonly seen from boats.

Kingfishers, Cranes, Fish Eagles and other bee-eaters are abundant in the lush vegetation, ranging from savannah to swamps; Plains to Mopane Forrests to the reedy riverbanks.
