Menongue — One hundred and seventy-five tourists of different nationalities visited, in 2023, the Okavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Project (KAZA), from the Cuando Cubango border posts, in the country’s south-east.

As for foreigners, at the same border, the SME registered the entry of 24,233 national citizens (+16,037) as well as the exit of 21,414 foreigners (+15,071).
