Kavango is a region in northern Namibia that is home to the Kavango people. The Kavangos are a river people who until today secured their survival mostly with fishing from the Okavango and, to a lesser extent, agriculture. The river is the lifeline for the region.
By public transport
Between towns you can catch a minibus. Rundu and Divundu are on the route of the big coaches that travel between Windhoek and Lusaka.
The B8 highway is tarred and in very good condition, as is the section of the C45 that is west of Mpungu. All other C-roads are gravel roads and in fair condition, easily passable with an ordinary sedan.
