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.
