Bagani (1.093 m above sea level) is a settlement on the south-western banks of the Okavango River in the Kavango East Region of Namibia, 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 the Caprivi Strip. The two towns are linked via a nearby border post.
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.
Compared to many other villages in Namibia, Bagani is still underdeveloped. It suffered from bad infrastructure and the political unrest in the neighboring, country,Angola. Until recent years, the economy of Bagani was characterized by small farmers with only a few general services. Since the independence of Namibia in 1990 and particularly since an ongoing decentralisation policy, Bagani has gained some investments.
