About Caprivi
The Caprivi Strip is named after German Chancellor Leo von Caprivi who acquired it from Great Britain in 1890 for the German colony of German South-West Africa (Namibia) in order to have a river connection to the German colony ofTanganyika. The connection proved unsuccessful, due to theVictoria Falls. Due to the colonial connotation the area is officially calledZambezi Regionin Namibia but tourists and tourist maps still commonly call it the Caprivi. There was a conflict in Caprivi in 1999, but it lasted only a few days, and the strip has been peaceful since then. It is a tropical, wet stretch of land, known for its typical round huts along the street.
