Impalila, River island at the eastern tip of Namibia
The island spans 12 kilometers in length and 6 kilometers in width, bordered by the Zambezi River north and Chobe River south.
In the 1800s, explorer David Livingstone established a camp on the island during his journey from Angola to Mozambique to discover Victoria Falls.
The Basubiya tribe governs the island through an Induna, who conducts weekly Khuta meetings with village elders to resolve local matters.
Access to the island requires clearing immigration at a small hut on the southern shore, typically reached via boat from Kasane, Botswana.
From the central ancient baobab tree, visitors can observe the convergence point of four countries: Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
