Mudumu National Park, Namibia

Mudumu National Park is a wild and lightly visited wilderness in Namibia's far northeastern Zambezi Region, set along the perennial Kwando River near the border with Botswana. This lush park of dense riverine woodland, mopane forest, savanna and reed-fringed wetlands offers a landscape utterly different from the deserts most associated with Namibia, more reminiscent of the water-rich ecosystems of the Okavango and Chobe. The Kwando River and its floodplains form the lifeblood of the park, attracting elephants that move freely across the regional transfrontier conservation area, along with hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, red lechwe, sitatunga, sable and roan antelope, and predators including lion, leopard, spotted hyena and the endangered African wild dog. Birdlife is exceptional, with hundreds of species drawn to the river and marshes, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. Mudumu also plays an important role in community conservation, working closely with neighbouring conservancies. Visitors enjoy game drives, guided walks, boat trips and birdwatching in a remote, unspoilt setting that rewards patient and adventurous travellers.
