The border between Botswana and Namibia runs from a point at Nossob in the south in accordance with Article III of the Treaty between the German Empire and the United Kingdom on the colonies and Heligoland from July 1, 1890, initially northwards at 20 degrees east longitude to the 22nd south Latitude ( 22 ° 0 ′ 0 ″ S, 20 ° 0 ′ 0 ″ E), before continuing north to 21 degrees east longitude ( 22 ° 0 ′ 0 ″ S, 21 ° 0 ′ 0 ″ E to 18 ° 19 ′ 3 ″ S, 21 ° 0 ′ 0 ″ E ). To the east, the border is in an almost straight line at the Caprivi Strip until reaching the Linyanti . The border then follows the natural course of the river (later Chobe ) until it almost forms a quadrangle between Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe at the end of the tip .
