ʻO nā muliwai nui loa o Namibia
Ke nānā neiʻoe i ka palapala'āina o Namibia, hiki iāʻoe keʻike he'āina maoli kēia'āina i ka wai, akā he hapa wale nō o ia mea, akā, e maloʻo ana i ka wā maloʻo. Ke huli koke nei kekahi o lākou (i ka wā ua nui) i loko o ka muliwai e kahe ana nā kahawai e holo ma ke kahakai, aʻo nā mea liʻiliʻi wale nōʻaʻole e hoʻokau houʻia. No nā muliwai nui, nona ka lōʻihi ma mua o 1000 km, aia wale nō 3 o lākou ma Namibia.
ʻO ka muliwaiʻalani ('Olia Orange)
ʻO ka muliwai nui loa oʻAmelika Hema a me kahi o ka lōʻihi loa ma ka'āina holoʻokoʻa. Aia ia ma ke aupuni o Lesotho , emi iho ma mua o 200 km mai ke Kai Indian, a kaheʻana i ke komohana i ka MoanaʻAkelanika e pili ana i 2000 km. ʻO Geographically, ke kaheʻo Orange River i kekahi o nā'āpana o ka Repubalika o'Akelika Hema , a ma hope iho ua hoʻoholo ia i ka palena hema o ka Kalahari a mahele i ka hema o Namib i ka hapalua ma mua o ka hāʻuleʻana i loko o ka MoanaʻAkelanika kokoke i kekahi o nā kūlanakauhaleʻo'Akelika Hema (Alexander Bay).
ʻO ke kahawaiʻalani ma Namibia he wahi liʻiliʻi a malu, a ua aneane hikiʻole i ka holokaʻikaʻi keʻaʻai i kona awāwa, kahi iʻoi aku ai ka maikaʻi o kēia wahi no nā mea makemake i nā holoholona hihiu a me ka nani maikaʻi. No laila, ua lilo nā kahawai o ka muliwai i hale maoli no ka nui o nāʻano o nā manu he 60 (14 o lākou i ka hopena o ka lukuʻiaʻana) a me 40 mauʻano mammals, e hiki ai i nā poʻe malihini ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa loa i nā mea ulu a me nā'āina. Eia kekahi, he mea kaulana loa ka holo waʻa a me ka huki.

ʻO ka muliwaiʻo'Okavango
ʻO ka hāhā o ka muliwai nui ma Aferika a me kekahi o nā loko nui loa o Namibia (lōʻihi - 1700 km, ākea - a hiki i 200 m, hohonu - 4 m). Aia kona kumu i Angola, kahi i kapaʻiaʻo Rio Cubango. ʻO ka holoʻana ma ke kapa hema ma ka palena me Namibia, he mea ia he lapa ma ka hikina ma ka hikina o ka makahiki 1963 kahi o nā moku nui loa o Botswana, ka Moremi Game Reserve (Moremi Game Reserve). Ma ke ala, aia ma mua o 150,000 mau mokupuni likeʻole ma ke kahawai o'Okavango: mai nā liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a hōʻea i nā mokupuni nui e lōʻihi aku i ka 10 mau mile ka lōʻihi. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona'ē aʻe e pili ana i ka lawaʻole o ke komoʻana i ke kai, no ka mea, ua pauʻo'Okavango i kāna neʻeʻana, a hāʻule i loko o ka momoku ma ka Desert Kalahari.
ʻO ka muliwaiʻo'Okavango kahi māinaʻai maʻamau e kākoʻo i kahi kaiaola nui, e like me nā holoholona a me nā kānaka o Namibia a me Botswana. Eia kekahi, he kaulana ia no kona mau momona a me konaʻano momona, aʻo kekahi o nāʻano e pili ana i ka'āina, e lilo ia i hui kaiaulu maikaʻi.

ʻO Cunene,ʻo ke kolu o ka muliwai nui ma Namibia, aia ma ka'ākau o ka'āina aʻo ia kekahi o kāna mau mea nui . ʻO kona lōʻihi he 1050 km ia, a ma ka 1/3 o lākou (325 km) ka palena o Namibia me Angola. ʻO ka holo wikiwiki o ka muliwai ka mea i hana i konaʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa pono'ī, eʻoki ana i kahi ola hou i ka mālamalama o ka wao akua.
