Dutluwe is a border town in northwestern Botswana, located on the western edge of the Okavango Delta, near the Namibian border. As an important gateway to the Okavango Delta, a World Natural Heritage Site, the town is known for its wildlife conservation and ecotourism.
Dutluwe is located in the Caprivi Strip on the Botswana-Namibia border and is surrounded by pristine wilderness. Its core attraction is its proximity to the UNESCO-recognized Okavango Delta, a wetland ecosystem inhabited by rare species such as elephants, lions, and African wild dogs, making it a hotspot for biodiversity in Africa.
Visitors often use Dutluwe as a base for activities such as canoe safaris, off-road game viewing and bird watching. Local community-run eco-lodges offer cultural experiences where visitors can learn about the traditional way of life of the San (Bushmen). Border customs facilities are available in town to facilitate cross-border travelers to and from Namibia.
Dutluwe is connected by road to Botswana's main city of Mahon and Katima Mulilo in Namibia, and is recommended to be accessed by 4WD vehicle. The best time to visit is during the dry season, May-October, when wildlife congregates near water sources and game viewing success is high. Visitors need to obtain a Botswana National Parks Pass in advance.
