Divundu (1.090 m above sea level) is a village on the south-eastern banks of the Okavango River in the Kavango East Region of Namibia, east of Rundu. Divundu has a population of around 5,430 inhabitants and is the homestead of the local Hambukushu kings.
On the opposite, north-eastern banks of the river lies Kakutji in Angola, and the two settlements are linked via a nearby border post.
Divundu is situated on the Walvis Bay-Ndola-Lubumbashi Development Road, in Namibia designated the national road B8. It also connects south-east to Botswana via the C48. Divundu has a National Traffic Information System (NaTIS) office and issues the number plate DV.
The Divundu Correctional Facility is one of Namibia's seven major prisons.[1]
Game drives to the nearby national park, Bwabwata National Park, which is well known for the diversity of wildlife in typical riverine and swampland habitat, are popular amongst tourists. Tourists frequent the Ndhovu Safari Lodge, which offers boat cruises to the Popa Falls, as well as camping facilities and guided village tours to the local Kamutjonga village.[2]
Divundu is governed by a village council that has five seats.[3] Athanasius Ndjamba Maghumbo is the CEO of Divundu Village Council (DVC).[4]
