Popa Falls
The Popa Falls Resort is situated
on the banks of the Okavanago River at the last rapids before the
river enters Botswana and the Okavango Delta. This rustic resort,
situated 15km from the Mahango Game Reserve, is the perfect stop-over
when travelling between the Khaudum and Mahango Game Reserves.The
falls are really not much more than a set of rapids on the Okavango
River created by a rocky ledge. They have a drop of about 4 metres
and extend across the full width of the river and are best viewed
during the dry season. They 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 but the bird life is rich.
