Impalila Island lies at the eastern extremity of the Caprivi Strip and is bounded by the converging Zambezi and Chobe Rivers and a natural channel known as the Kasai. The island is 11 kilometres long and four kilometres wide and is flanked by a number of pristine forested smaller islands and superb floodplains. There are two lodges on the island and birding trips by motorboat up the rivers and by mokoro into the floodplains are offered. Birding is excellent, and a lot of big game is normally encountered. A stay of five days will typically yield 250-300 species in summer and 150-200species in winter.
