Namutoni is a small border settlement in the Kavango East Region of northeastern Namibia, located at the eastern end of the Caprivi Strip, adjacent to the Zambezi River and bordering Zambia, Botswana and Angola. It is known for the ruins of a colonial German fort and is now an important gateway to Botswana's Chobe National Park and Namibia's Mahango Game Reserve.
Located in the Okavango River Basin Ecosystem, Namutoni is surrounded by a rich diversity of wildlife, including elephant, buffalo and hippo. Its tropical climate contrasts with the mostly arid regions of Namibia, and its riparian forests and wetland landscapes provide unique sites for bird watching and ecotourism.
The military fort established by German colonizers in 1903 still retains the remains of watchtowers and ramparts that bear witness to the colonial border conflicts. Today Namutoni serves as a cross-country tourism hub, providing boat and land transportation to the surrounding national parks, and simple lodges and camping facilities attract adventure travelers to stay here.
