The boatsmen from Calai

It is entirely possible to visit Angola for a day crossing the Okavango from Rundu. Currently Calai, Rundu’s twin town at the opposite side of the river doesn’t have any viable transport links with inland Angola. Most of the roads are still mined and there was heavy fighting as recently as 2000 during the Caprivi conflict, when the Caprivi Liberation Army was hiding over the border. Dugout canoes are serving the cross border travelers and most goods arrive into Angola the same way.
