Impalila Island is also known as ‘The One Island in Africa where Four Countries Meet’. Bounded by the Zambezi and Chobe rivers, it lies at the convergence of Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Here, the Zambezi River flows over a series of rapids and along a maze of channels it has carved through the basalt rock which obstructs its course. The name Impalila appropriately means ‘the faraway place.’ The island, which is about 11 km long and up to 4 km wide, is one of the top birding and angling spots in Namibia. Photo: Willie Olivier
