Mudumu (Zambezi Region)

Highlights

Mudumu is situated in the north of Namibia and is bordered to the west by the Kwando, the border river to Botswana. The park is a great destination for adventurous safari goers in the Zambezi region. The park has suffered from heavy poaching but is slowly recovering. Wildlife density is still low, but a good variety of resident and migratory animals makes a visit worthwhile. Self-drive visitors need to be well prepared. Because of the sometimes difficult sandy roads, the park should be explored by off-road vehicle or boat.

Landscape

The main habitat of the Mudumu (Zambezi Region) is the Wetland.

Much of the habitat in the park is a mixture of wetlands and woodland, making it a very unusual landscape for Namibia in places. Papyrus swamps are a specialised habitat for many species and in the floodplains you can see the large herds. Sausage trees, leadwood, figs and teak are just some of the trees that adorn the landscape.
