Land and climate. Namibia is bordered on the north by two large rivers, the Kunene and the Okavango. The Kwando River cuts through the Caprivi Strip. The Zambezi River flows along the northeastern border, and the Orange River forms Namibia's southern border. Otherwise, Namibia is a dry land.
Droughts often occur.
Huge sand dunes of the Namib Desert lie near the coast. The Kalahari Desert occupies eastern Namibia. This area in Namibia has stubby trees and enough grassland for grazing cattle and growing corn. Large antelopes live on the interior plain of Namibia. Elephants adapted to desert conditions inhabit the northwest corner of the country.
