Khaudum National Park — Entry Fees & Practical Info
Khaudum National Park is one of Namibia's most remote, rugged and untamed wilderness areas, a vast tract of Kalahari sandveld in the far northeast bordering Botswana. Accessible only by well-equipped, self-sufficient four-wheel-drive expeditions, usually travelling in convoy, it offers a genuine off-the-beaten-track adventure for experienced and self-reliant travellers. The landscape is dominated by ancient dry riverbeds known as omirambas, interspersed with dense woodland of Zambezi teak, false mopane and acacia, and dotted with waterholes that sustain wildlife through the dry months. Khaudum is famous for its large, free-roaming elephant population and as one of the best places in Namibia to encounter the endangered African wild dog, alongside lion, leopard, spotted hyena, roan and tsessebe antelope, kudu and giraffe. Birdlife is prolific, with over 320 species recorded, including many Kalahari and woodland specials. With no fences on the Botswana side, wildlife moves freely across the wider ecosystem. Rough tracks, deep sand and a profound sense of isolation make Khaudum a true wilderness safari destination for the adventurous.
