Bagani (1.093 m above sea level) is a town on the south-western banks of the Okavango River in the Kavango Region, Namibia, 200 km east of Rundu and near the Popa Falls on the Okavango River.[1] Bagani has a population of around 2.000 inhabitants and is homestead of the local Mbukushu kings.
On the opposite, north-eastern banks of the river lies Bufalo in Caprivi and the two towns are linked via a nearby border post.
History
The history of Bagani (Mbukushu: "the old place") is closely linked with the history of the Mbukushu people, the easternmost of the five kingdoms of the Kavango people. Successor of king Mayavero I. became hompa Mbambo [2]. Bagani was founded in 1820[3] and 1880[4].
Since independence of Namibia in 1990 and in particularly since an ongoing decentralisation policy, Bagani has gained some investments.
