The Cuando River (or Kwando in the non-colonial spelling) is a river in south-central Africa flowing through Angola and Namibia's Caprivi Strip and into the Linyanti Swamp on the northern border of Botswana.[3] Below the swamp, the river is called the Linyanti River and, farther east, the Chobe River,[4] before it flows into the Zambezi River.
