Why does the CAPRIVI STRIP exist?

The Caprivi Strip is a geographical salient that sticks out from the main body of Namibia. In this video I unpack why it is there, and how it came to be.

Thanks Asher! Quite a lot of my age group fought there against the Angolans. Great that this is no loner the case and that wildlife lovers can rather enjoy it

It really does seem to be very beautiful!

For anyone who wants to know the answer without dedicating 9 minutes to it: When the Germans colonized the area, the strip was supposed to provide Germany with access to the Zambezi River, aiming for a trade route to the Indian Ocean. This didn't work out due to Victoria Falls being impassable. Now, it's just a skinny extension of Namibia, sticking out between other countries due to those old colonial ambitions. Done.

@@samusaran13372 If you had watched my video you’d see that I gave a short version for people that don’t have time and just want a quick version. And then a longer version with history and facts for people that care for that kind of thing. 😉 If that’s not for you, no problem. 😅
