The Caprivi Strip and Africa’s “Four Corners”
17.5S 23.7E
Africa's "Four Corners" - June 21st, 2009
The Caprivi Strip cuts horizontally in from the left and across the central band of this image, ending to the right of the center. It is bordered by the Okavango, Cuando, Chobe and Zambezi rivers. The area is rich in wildlife and has mineral resources.
The strip is a narrow protrusion of Namibia eastwards about 450 km (280 miles), between Botswana on the south, Angola and Zambia to the north, and Okavango Region to the west.
As such, the area has been nicknamed Africa’s “Four Corners”. The site of this quadruple frontier is by the swamp located slightly northeast of the center.
